Discovery of a "Flat" Atom Hailed as Quantum Computing Breakthrough
msw writes to tell us that nanoelectronics researchers have discovered a new molecule that could act as a state-manipulable atom due to its unique shape and properties. "Imagine a tiny arsenic atom embedded in a tiny strip of silicon atoms. An electric current is applied. Something strange arises on the surface -- an exotic molecule. On one end is the spherical submerged arsenic atom; on the other end is an 'artificial' flat atom, seemingly 2D, created as an artifact. The pair form an exotic molecule, which has a shared electron, which can be manipulated to be at either end, or in an intermediate quantum state."
Include large quantities of arsenic in my computer. I mean, what could possibly go wrong!
Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power lost.
lol.. are you French by any chance? (that's unrelated to your comment by the way, just the pun in your name)
You just got troll'd!
if you think Quantum Inverters and Flux Capacitors are offtopic in this topic of quantum artifacts, you are as geek as ted stevens pulling small tubes out of his butt.

Sadly I spent my last mod-point correcting where some idiot modded a guy trying to be funny as "offtopic" or I'd have used it here to attempt to undo the bad "Troll" mod
there's an odd increase in abusive mod point usage in the last week. why and to what end, baffles me. how do those people get mod points, further baffles me.

You're your own mother? Wow. Also, ouch.
