Quantum Computer Possible From Silicon Fab

Cash Mitchell writes: "This article from the EE Times says 'Researchers at the University of Wisconsin in Madison claim to have created the world's first successful simulation of a quantum-computer architecture that uses existing silicon fabrication techniques.... With existing fabrication techniques, the team estimates that a million-quantum-dot computer (1,024 x 1,024 array) could be built today and operated in the megahertz range.'"

say goodbye to computer security as you know it. what else is our there that can replace our current systems that are based on hard factorizations of large numbers?
