Quantum Computing and Optically Controlled Electrons

eldavojohn writes "Researchers have released a new paper on quantum computing theorizing how to use optically controlled electrons to make an ultrafast quantum computer. From the article, "Scientists have designed a scheme to create one of the fastest quantum computers to date using light pulses to rotate electron spins, which serve as quantum bits. This technique improves the overall clock rate of the quantum computer, which could lead to the fastest potentially scalable quantum computing scheme of which the scientists are aware.""

Their real power lies in their ability to calculate and analyze certain things - namely, Quantum stuff, which it can do much better than your average pentium.

At least that's the explanation I got some time ago from a physics-guy friend.

Your 'physics-guy friend' *cough* faggot *cough* doesn't know shit about systems architecture. Bone up.
