    I watched the MIT lecture on Lagrangian Descriptions in Fluid Mechanics and was struck by something.

    a consistant wave will cause particles under that wave to travel in a tight circular path as explained in the lecture. Thus, their position AND orientation are constantly changing. By using multiple waves from different directions and superimposing them on top of each other, can't we control the position and orientation of particles and achieve the same thing utilising this principle?

    We can potentially have a built in software that varies these wave and or superimposes them on top of each other to allow for greater variation. Using these waves, we can apply the same concept as with the experiment that used sound waves as a sort of a tractor beam to move and organise individual particles. You can find this experiment that utilises foam beads on youtube.

    My question is: Can we apply this same concept to move and position electrons or other particles and or atoms to make a quantum computer? Is supercooling really necessary?
