Quantum computers seem to exists in a superposition of theoretical and practical states; there seems to be a lot of progress in the field, but a fully-realized quantum computer remains a hypothetical. On the theoretical level, we can exploit quantum mechanics through the use of a qubit—a quantum bit—that stores and operates on information much like a bit in a computer and works on a simple 1 or 0. Thanks to the oddities of quantum mechanics, the qubits can be thought of as simultaneously 1 and 0, as well as all the values in between. Two papers in this week's edition of Science report on research using quantum dots—solid state qubits—to make both a simple quantum logic gate with a single qubit and a coupled dynamic system of two linked qubits.

After the third read t_b, started to come to the conclusion, that particles move very fast, and the possible change in our thinking about what we have now may change altogether in our concept about computers-perhaps, even our very notions of space and time. Article, more than enough for me, and most re-read again for even a primary understanding-thanks, a most interesting post! icon_smile.gif
