Qutrit breakthrough brings quantum computers closer
Submitted by frank on Fri, 04/04/2008 - 15:52.The folks playing with quantum computers have been claiming for years that their gadgets will one day make today’s supercomputers look like quivering lumps of jelly. But so far, their computers have yet to match the calculating prowess of a 10-year old with ADHD.
The most exciting work so far has been on universal quantum logic gates, the building blocks of any computer. A number of groups have built and demonstrated these and one team even took their gates for the computing equivalent of a run round the block by factorising the number 15.
The Death of the Silicon Micro Chip

The reign of the silicon chip is over, according to physicists who predict that the conventional silicon chip has no longer than four years left to run.
Meeting at the Institute of Physics’ Condensed Matter and Material Physics conference this week, researchers speculate that the silicon chip will be unable to sustain the same pace of increase in computing power and speed as it has in previous years.
