Quantum Computing and Optically Controlled Electrons

Posted by samzenpus on from the greased-lightning dept.

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.""

    I for one welcome our new overclocked ultrafast quantum computer overlords.

    The speed at which these may decode jpg images of my hot digital girlfriends! Mmmm...

    a Beowulf clu..... Hey, wait, did we just get lapped? What's today?!? Damn Quantum Physics!!!

    Now I just need this unit to have the AI to know how to control and build my molecular assembler. K thnx!
