Quantum computing for solving quantum problems

Impact: Quantum Physics    January 24, 2010
Sooner rather than later (a few years as opposed to decades) there will be a functional quantum computer. The definition of such a computer is loose. The first quantum computers will not be anything like a personal computer or even a supercomputer. They won’t look like ‘normal’ computers and they won’t compute like them either. [...]

A two-qubit computer

News: Computer Power    November 17, 2009
Another step on the way to developing a quantum computer was recently taken with the demonstration of a two-qubit computing processor (previously, one-qubit processors). Much more work will be needed to reduce the error rate of such processors, and eventually to be able to link them together to solve larger (and more interesting) calculation problems, [...]
