Significant Advance in Quantum Computing
wcitech writes "Apparently scientists have been able to create circuitry that mimics the behavior of atom pairs by using superconductors." From the article: "The work, reported in the Feb. 25 issue of the journal Science, demonstrates that it is possible to measure the quantum properties of two interconnected artificial atoms at virtually the same time. Until now, superconducting qubits--quantum counterparts of the 1s and 0s used in today's computers--have been measured one at a time to avoid unwanted effects on neighboring qubits." The second Quantum computing revelation this month, in fact.
Well, obviously it isn't ready but there are steps between "hey, I've got a good idea" and "you want to buy this product from me???"
Of course! We created God...in our image and likeness, no less.

... so that when you collapse the wave function, voila! the correct answer is revealed, as if by magic?
Most of the time.
