HP's Crossbar Latch... Next-Gen Transistor?

moojin writes "CNN.com reports that "in a paper published in Tuesday's Journal of Applied Physics, HP said three members of its Quantum Science Research group propose and demonstrate a "crossbar latch," which provides the signal restoration and inversion required for general computing without the need for transistors.""

I think I speak for a lot of Slashdot when I say that one of the coolest things we might see in our lifetime is the development of quantum computing. Once we figure out the basics, it is going to transform the way we computer simply out of the sheer computing power we'll be able to throw at things.
