What are the limits of effective computation in nature? Can we reach computing speeds billions and trillions of times faster than current computers (maybe by exploiting new laws of physics)?

I don't know but it's quite exponential since 1993, see graphe here : http://www.top500.org/lists/2007/11/per ... evelopment
3 lines :
Sum of the 500 fastest comps (green)
Number 1 in the top 500 list (red)
Number 500 in the top 500 list (purple)

What about quantum computers? Will they have any use for chess?
