Quantum Computing Using Traditional Transistors

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the reusing-old-hardware dept.

Ocean Consulting writes "UCLA is reporting progress on the quantum computing front by announcing success in controlling the spin of a single electron using an ordinary transistor." It's been a long road for the researchers involved, and even the project lead, Hong Wen Jiang admits, "...our initial theoretical calculations were very favorable, and gave us confidence to persevere."

    "UCLA is reporting progress on the quantum computing front by announcing success in controlling the spin of a single electron using an ordinary transistor."

    How does that constitute progress in quantum computing? I have been hearing about progress in quantum computing for a long time now. Sounds like a bunch of people who are afraid to lose their government grants and funding.

    I can't wait for the day when quantum computing is revealed for what it is, a silly hoax and a fraud.
