First Quantum Byte Created

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the future-arrives dept.

gila_monster writes "Juice Enews Daily is reporting that the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the University of Innsbruck in Austria has created an entanglement of eight quantum particles, yielding a quantum byte or 'qubyte,' or eight qubits. The formal paper was published in the December 1 issue of Nature. A qubyte with eight ions provides a computing matrix of 65536 mostly independent elements. No word in the article about whether they were able to actually use the qubyte for computing."

    and it only costs 89$ and is avaibble for MACs too http://www.advancedliving.com/item97179.ctlg

    taking about unlocking the secret of quatum computing, it maybe possible unlike how people think they aren't possible or difficult to achieve just as people say perpetual motion machines cant be achieved.

    let's see what this web site below have to say about the true perpetual motion machines:
