@NJ5: That's true. Although, were yet to see what the tech is capable of and the current tech is (once again) reaching its limits. Current trend is to add number of processors to improve performance, which propably all manufacturers want to get rid of.
@Demotruck: Basically altering the order of quarks in a hadron. If that can be done, one hadron would be more than one bit.
Although, the process would require hadrons to split into quark-gluon plasma, where the quarks would be "free" (except for pions, but that's a little different). Of course, i'm not saying that the process wouldn't require energy and it could be done ever. All i'm pointing out is, that Dodeces "atom model" isn't the "be all, end all".
@Dodece: Maybe you should have pointed out in the first place what you were meaning. Citing to "quantum" is a little too broad term.
There are twelve different type of quarks (including anti-quarks), basically, as Demotruck pointed out, they define what type of hadron is in question. How to use that as a memory solution, is a different matter.
Again, we don't need to go to atoms if we just want to use the spin, since electrons has their spin aswell.
Anyway, i doubt the diamonds (as they currently stand as the best material for the type of storage) are either anything that would hit the laws of physics in terms of storage.
One thing i do agree: if we want to discuss the subject further, this needs its own topic.
