I have been writing about quantum computing for a while now. If you look at my recent writing, though, you won’t find much about quantum computing. Why? Well, it all felt a little repetitive. The publications were still coming, but each new one seemed very much like the previous one. I’m not being cynical here; sometimes you just burn out on a subject.
In that light, it takes something special to attract my attention. It turns out that making something that looks and feels like a complete quantum computer—albeit on the smallest of scales—will definitely attract my attention. What we have here, ladies and gentleman, is nothing more or less than the first quantum microprocessor. via Chris Lee at ars technica
