German Scientists Create 5 qubit Quantum Register

Posted by timothy on Tuesday October 12, 2004 @12:28AM from the sehr-klein dept.

CMan0 writes "In the University of Bonn, a team of scientists has built a 5 qubit register, using cesium atoms trapped by a laser-beam grid, The Register reports. They've been able to install an empty 5 bit register(i.e. all bits 0), change two of them to 1, and later read those 1s back. The next goal is to create an interaction between 2 bits. The full scientific article can be found here in PDF format."

Ok, imagine that the qubits are Chicken McNuggets. That would make the five qubit register... I wonder if McDonald's is still serving breakfast, I sure could go for one of those steak bagels that drips a pint of grease into your lap. To the Toyota!!
