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.

    Er, you won didn't you? Your republican moron beat their democrat moron, and now someone who can't pronounce "nuclear" is in charge of launching them.

    The dead horse would like a rest from the beating.

    Slashdot editors, I hope you are reading. I expected this to happen. I submitted exactly this article two days ago (when it was actually released by NIST) and you rejected it. Now two days later someone else submits it and you accept it. Nice.
