QR3.4 Processing Spreads

Physics understands how physical waves spread but how do quantum waves spread on a network? Processing waves should spread at one point per network cycle, which is the speed of light, but how do they spread? The method proposed is instantiation, which in computing lets a server delegate a process to run at many locations. The quantum no-cloning theorem (Wootters & Zurek, 1982) doesn’t let us copy quantum states, but a server that generates a process can easily duplicate it.
