Proabbly, but I doubt they'll use electronics.  Probably will use quantum states of atoms or something neat like that ;)

What will:
true AND undecided = ?
true OR undecided = ?
true and undefined = undefined
false and undefined = false
undefined and undefined = undefined

true or undefined = true
false or undefined = undefined
undefined or undefined = undefined
Yes, of course Taldor, but what my concern was, how will undefined be defined?  :D

The idea is that undefined is some sort of a bottom (-less calculation), meaning that it is a calculation that will never end. The problem with this, is the computer will never reach an end-state in finite time.
