New Idea Could Lead to Quantum RAM

KentuckyFC writes to tell us that scientists in Italy and the US have designed a new method of retrieving information from quantum memory that could allow them to create "Quantum RAM". "Giovannetti's idea is to send the address down the branching tree of connections in such a way that it only affects one switch at a time. The first address qubit sets a switch at the first branching point to go one way or the other; the second qubit is sent that way and sets the switch at the next branching point, and so on. The total number of entangled quantum systems is smaller, and they are not so susceptible to interference, allowing information to be retrieved from memory intact."

I originally read the post title as Quantum DRM

Another possible unintended effect? Will the code-breaking capabilities of quantum computing be offset by the capacities of quantum RAM?

but will it run Vista?
