Does anyone know the correlation between bits on a computer and atoms? Do they converge at some point that could be used merge the physical and digital world?

How is that /x/ tier?

Bits are voltage levels.
Robert Ortiz
You mean the level of electricity being generated? How does that correlate to binary?
Nathaniel Morris
>You mean the level of electricity being generated?
Essentially yes but it is a lot more complicated.
>How does that correlate to binary?
In the broadest sense possible:
1 = 5V
0 = 0V

So when you get into megabytes and gigabytes, your essentially combining thousands of units attributed to 5V's to a certain degree?
Assuming that atoms are used to create those same bits, would it be theoretically possible to use atomic manipulation as network between the digital and physical scape?

>So when you get into megabytes and gigabytes, your essentially combining thousands of units attributed to 5V's to a certain degree?
Yes. Data (whether useful data or just commands for various computer parts) is essentially millions upon millions of voltage sequences that the computer interprets as information or commands.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Bits are "made" out of electrons using transistor logic. We funnel those electrons through a computer into a monitor. That's how you see what you see on a monitor. It's all a physical process. There is no "digital world".

I meant, would it be possible to use atomic manipulation on a computer to create a reaction in reality such as manipulating atoms to a point of creating something with the same atomic make up as what you made on a computer?

Some groups are using atoms/ions as bits for quantum computing
