New Advance In Quantum Dot Technology

Posted by timothy on from the think-small dept.

sacremon writes: "An article in EETimes describes research at the University of Nebraska on the development of an improved method for the generation of quantum dots. The researchers invoke the infamous 'five years away from having a small-scale quantum computer in the lab,' but the technique looks promising, particularly for generating a large array of quantum dots."

    Quantum money? Is that like, the more accurately you know how fast you're spending it, the less accurately you can know how much you have left?

    what do you believe you will actually use in the next five years:

    • A quantum computer
    • a flexible CD
    • a one handed keyboard
    • Mouse marrows to grow brain cells
    • Any of Jon Katz's visionary political or social ideas
    • legos to build a 40 foot tall replication deathstar
    • A stable version of Windows

    Okay, that last one was a little too farfetched... but I do declare Slashdot, you have the vapors!

    The University of Nebraska really does do research, and interesting stuff at that! All this time I have been going here I thought we were just a front for the football team...

    I guess I can feel proud now. :)
