Diamonds Key To Quantum Computing

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Scientists P. Neumann, N. Mizuochi & co. have advanced quantum computing by finding a new method to get two-way and three-way, high quality quantum correlations that persist for hundreds or thousands of microseconds, even at room temperature. Their paper (subscription required) describes how they manipulated electrons from nitrogen vacancies in diamond using microwaves to entangle adjacent carbon-13 nuclei. Even better, this builds on previous results which indicate that diamonds with nitrogen impurities may be the key to creating useful quantum computing devices. The article provides a good description of what nitrogen vacancies are and why they prove useful."

    Oh you are sure are you?

    Well someone alert the stupid fucking quantum computing scientists, some random kid on Slashdot is sure he has a better idea than they do. He is pretty sure there is more than likely the possibility that there might be some better way to do what they are doing, based on his reading of the summary written by someone who read what a reporter wrote after interviewing an intern. According to this kid, they can get to work right away his better idea.

    People like you need to learn to shut the fuck up when grown folks are trying to work.

  6. So Now Diamonds Are the Answer to QC, eh? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    And what will it be next month? Moon dust?

    Haysoos Martinez! Didn't D-Wave already announced that they have the final answer to QC and an actual working prototype? If D-Wave already has the answer, why do we need another one? What will it take to convince people that the entire QC things is one of the biggest fraud/snake-oil/crackpottery in the history of science? If you want to know the real truth about quantum computing, read these articles.

    Maybe they should try with dilithium crystals.

    LOL. This is funny. Too bad the humor will be wasted on a bunch of wild-eyed /. nerds who want to believe so much in the superstition known as quantum computing. Religion is a very powerful thing. LOL.

    Has anyone noticed that people are getting tired of all this quantum computing bullshit? Most of the posts below are just making fun of it all. QC is crap. Get over it. It is a big fucking lie that just refuses to go away as long as those fraudsters keep getting funding from us suckers, i.e., the public. I wish Slashdot would stop running stories about QC anymore. Only wild-eyed Star-Trek fanatics care and they don't count. Whoever promises to slash all funding for QC gets my vote in November. LOL.
