很多正在研發中的科技倚賴量子糾纏為基本運作機制。在量子密碼學裏，糾纏粒子被用來傳遞信息，使用這種方法，任何竊聽動作必定會留下痕跡。在量子計算學裏，糾纏量子態可以做  並行計算 ，使用這種方法，某些算法的運算速度比經典計算機快很多。
The C10k problem is the problem of optimising network socket s to handle a large number of clients at the same time . The name C10k is a numeronym for  concurrently handling ten thousand connections . Note that concurrent connections are not the same as requests per second , though they are similar : handling many requests per second requires high throughput ( processing them quickly ) , while a high number of concurrent connections requires efficient scheduling of connections .
