Why I think our brains are so powerful

I don't realy have the right vocabulary or technical knowledge to describe this, but as I understand it, quantum computers use the quantum states of particles for their calculations. So instead of having only two states ("binary" --- on/off or one/zero or yes/no) for each piece of the calculation, like you do in our current binary computer technology, you would have many more, because there are more than two quantum states for a particle. I hope I have that right. Anyway, quantum-based computer technology will yield much much more powerful computers.
I don't think the brain is a quantum computer, because I don't think the brain has a way to "read" or "set" the quantum states of particles. But I do not think the brain is a binary device either. It is something we do not fully understand yet. Part of the power of the brain is the extremely high number of complex connections in the neural network. And another part of its power comes from its biochemical nature --- I think each neuron can store more than two states because it is not simply on or off, it has a complex biochemical state.
Once our scientists develop the powerful quantum computer brain, it will have to fight it out for supremacy with our biochemical neural net computer brains in the final climactic battle between man and his abominable machine creations. Judgement Day! May the best brain win!
