Ever since my PhD work (where I worked with some pretty obscure computing architectures), the phrase “Von Neumann Architecture” makes think immediately of D H Lehmer’s quote [1] on working with ENIAC:

> Can we use the high speed computer to do the sieve process? This was a highly parallel machine, before von Neumann spoiled it.

Neat. It makes me wonder if there is work on mechanical computers at around the atomic scale.

yes, but they call that synthetic biology.

Quantum computers.

that's sub-atomic scale? because particles? which are subatomic?

hmmmmm....
