- inactive, on 11/11/2008, -0/+9Because Digg is a -technical- website. Not a political forum.
- jumboshrimp11, on 11/11/2008, -0/+7Because the Bose-Einstein Condensate is freaking awesome, that's why
- inactive, on 11/11/2008, -0/+4Sweet. Gotta love uncommon states of matter.
- aznpwnzor, on 11/11/2008, -5/+9in before But can it run Crysis?
- JesusFaction, on 11/11/2008, -0/+4in after fail
- mattycoze, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2Wow; i read about Bose-Einstein Condensate about 8 years ago (in New Scientist Magazine) and heard nothing of it till now. I like this sorta stuff - should have done physics hehe :)
- XZanatos, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2It took them that long to figure out something to actually do with the stuff. Seriously, both Bose and Einstein didn't think it would ever actually be possible to create these condensates so they never bothered to come up with any ideas for them.
- insanebrain, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2NO, thank science.
- Gracenotes, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2Whenever I think of factoring algorithms, I think of RSA encryption. The article mentions the link explicitly: "If you could do real quantum factoring, then the RSA encryption used to do secure transactions in public situations would be no good anymore". So, if it can be reliably implemented, then we're essentially screwed. Thanks, science! :P
- Murdats, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2in which case stop reading the science section of digg and start reading catalogues.
- doublsh0t, on 11/11/2008, -2/+3mmm this is way over my head =/
just tell me when it's at best buy kthx - Mujokan, on 11/11/2008, -0/+1It's a way around some of the problems with the traditional way of trying to do quantum computing, which is (practically speaking) extremely difficult to maybe impossible. It avoids the need to control every tiny particle individually, so it's more "analog" than "digital".
Theoretically this approach could lead to use of quantum properties to build more powerful computers. You might see it in Best Buy in a hundred years. - thelostemperor, on 11/12/2008, -0/+1Das bemerkt ja schon jeder Esel.
- Mujokan, on 11/11/2008, -0/+1:D
So you don't believe me, eh? There is no science article so obscure or speculative that it won't get a post saying "this is obvious". For example: http://digg.com/general_sciences/Research_shows_th ... - gunsul, on 11/11/2008, -1/+2You may be thinking WTF but I bet the NSA thinks it's ALL kinds of wkewl.
- Miketwo345, on 11/11/2008, -1/+1Aw... my condensate doesn't improve anything. Maybe I should team up with someone else.
- josepablos, on 11/11/2008, -1/+1instant classic!!!
- josepablos, on 11/11/2008, -1/+1and the nobel prize go fooooooor!!..
- xjosephko, on 11/11/2008, -0/+0Time travel ftmw.
- seltaeb4, on 11/11/2008, -3/+2Thank God!
I'll finally be able to sleep at night. - inactive, on 11/11/2008, -1/+0yeah well i can jump. Let's see the computer do that
- woodweird, on 11/11/2008, -2/+0I had that *exact* same idea!!
- Mujokan, on 11/11/2008, -6/+1In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.
(Every Digg science article has to have that comment, by law.) - namae, on 11/11/2008, -9/+0Ok, I haven't clicked through the link but, how does something like this get on the front page with a title like that? Honestly!
