Atomic Antennae Transmit Quantum Information

Posted by timothy on from the quantumnal-equinox dept.

intellitech writes "The Austrian research group led by physicist Rainer Blatt suggests a fundamentally novel architecture for quantum computation. They have experimentally demonstrated quantum antennae, which enable the exchange of quantum information between two separate memory cells located on a computer chip. This offers new opportunities to build practical quantum computers."

    Wireless-Q has the defect that you can't broadcast your SSID since that your require devices to observe the signal first first before connecting, which would result in a quantum paradox.

      Actaully the worse defect is the range is only 54 micrometers.

      That's much better than the router I got from my ISP! Where do I sign up?

    That's the boring question. The interesting one is: does the cat know?
