Let's suppose that in year 2038 there will occur a serious breakthrough in the field of quantum computers- it will be possible to build a new type of quantum computer which word length is as many bits as one fixed elementary particle has actual neighbors and additionally neighbors of neighbors The developers of such a quantum computer will confirm that above-mentioned statement is valid only for a case where these elementary particles look like balls in a childrens' attraction "sea of balls. More precisely-where these elementary particles are considered to have a spherical shape, all particles have a same size and can move freely relative to each other, even though they are closely opposite each other. And finally-only these elementary particles that are in direct contact with each other quality as neighbors Task: What is the actual word length of such a quantum computer? Or in other words - how many neighbors does a single fixed elementary particle have (having three-dimensional space around us) and how many n
