U of Michigan creates first Quantum Microchip

    Will your notebook or desktop PC someday sport quantum innards? It's unlikely, at least in the immediate future. Researchers believe quantum systems will be much more efficient at rock-solid cryptography and mass database searches than running the latest version of Doom.

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm crushed!
