Fast quantum computer building block created

eurekalert.org — The fastest quantum computer bit that exploits the main advantage of the qubit over the conventional bit has been demonstrated by researchers at University of Michigan, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the University of California at San Diego.

  • kotrin, on 08/21/2008, -0/+9also no AND yes ... and everything between
  • Kyrgizion, on 08/21/2008, -0/+9It's slightly more complicated than that. Rather than 'maybe' it's more like yes AND no.
  • hmahadik, on 08/21/2008, -1/+10Does this mean that I am gonna have to re-learn logic circuits 101???////
  • LLLSecretChimp, on 08/21/2008, -1/+9It's just a prototype. The actual qbit will be in a Lego brick.
  • RealmDown, on 08/21/2008, -3/+11Conventional = yes, no
    quantum = yes, no, maybe
  • dimbulb771, on 08/21/2008, -1/+9all well and good but will it run crysis
  • Mootabolife, on 08/21/2008, -4/+11Whose bright idea was it to put a fast quantum computer inside of a building block?
  • omgwtflawl, on 08/21/2008, -0/+6Don't forget "neither"
  • trollick, on 08/21/2008, -0/+6About time. I'm ***** tired of slow quantum computers.
  • RealmDown, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5Which word didn't you understand ?
  • kudaleo, on 08/21/2008, -1/+5" Because of their ability to represent multiple states simultaneously, quantum computers could theoretically factor numbers dramatically faster and with smaller computers than conventional computers. For this reason, they could vastly improve computer security. "

    Good scientist, stupid journalist....
  • elfs1der, on 08/21/2008, -2/+6This is cool, now the New World Order will be able to hack into humans and eat pancakes... good day
  • S1L3NTC, on 08/21/2008, -2/+6Skynet and the Matrix are now inevitable.
  • Bertram23, on 08/21/2008, -1/+4Nope, American I think.
  • ThirdPrize, on 08/21/2008, -3/+4Call me back when I can buy one in PC World.
  • Skelly11, on 08/21/2008, -0/+1Quantum Physics + Electronic Logic = A freaking Huge Equation to Switch your Computer on
  • joeanon, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1Sounds very expensive.
  • betamanpwnsyou, on 08/21/2008, -1/+1***** of[f] its in beta!
  • inactive, on 08/21/2008, -1/+1It's all in the 1's and 0's
  • inactive, on 08/21/2008, -1/+1There goes RSA!
  • lilmoder, on 08/21/2008, -3/+2Oh, plz STFU!
  • kotrin, on 08/21/2008, -3/+1The day a quantum computer with any significant amount of qubits is created is the day the human race begins it's spiral to extinction.
  • xbaz, on 08/21/2008, -3/+1is that English?
