Breakthroughs bring the next two major leaps in computing power into sight

Posted September 9, 2011 - 12:15 pm

Modelling the unimaginably complex environment of a quantum computer and figuring out how graphene to work just like silicon while still being faster, lighter and thinner make far more practical two stages of computer development that have been theoretical until now.

Adding freedom makes quantum-computer control tighter, simpler

Posted August 5, 2011 - 4:07 pm

Researchers have found that giving subatomic bits of information more choice about how to run a PC it's easier to control the processing they do. No, it doesn't make sense to us, either.

Would a quantum computer give great answers? Or lie to cover its ignorance.

Posted August 5, 2011 - 2:59 pm

In the quantum world, apparently, learning half a topic gives you enough information to be able to answer every test question, by guessing with shocking accuracy the answers you don't know. So, when you do get a quantum computer, how could you ever trust it?
