We know how physical waves spread but how do quantum waves on a network spread? Quantum theory says they spread, but not what spreads or why it does so. We expect processing waves to spread at one network point per cycle, which is the speed of light, but how can processing spread? The method now proposed is instantiation, which in computing is how a server can delegate a process to run independently at many locations. The quantum no-cloning theorem (Wootters & Zurek, 1982) doesn’t let us copy quantum states, but what generates them can duplicate processes at will.
