Scientists Find Flaw in Quantum Dot Construction

Posted by Zonk on from the you-changed-the-outcome-by-measuring-it! dept.

ThePolkapunk writes "Scientists have been having problems in predicting the behavior of Quantum Dots, which are considered to be the most likely material to be used to build nanocomputers. Physorg is reporting that physicists at Ohio University believe they've found the problem, and it's with a flaw in the construction of quantum dots. If their theory pans out, "It's one more step towards the holy grail of finding a better quantum bit, which hopefully will lead to a quantum computer."" We first mentioned this about six years ago.

    Actually, it's a matter of "I don't know jack crap about this, but I'm going to express my uninformed thoughts on it anyway without bothering to educate myself on the topic."

    Since 1999 (ago 6 years), i'd maintained in personal secret my revolutionary invent: "The Quantum Accelerator of HyperComputing".

    I did want the "non-disclosure" of my mispublishing of my unprecedent discovery".

    Nobody know about me, i'm more intelligent than Nevada's doctors.
