Ralph Sansbury has a very simple explanation for all of this which I'm sure will get shouted down (since that seems to be what people do here for all new ideas)
Sansbury suggests through a number of different lines of argumentation that the "speed of light" is really an almost-instantaneous EM signal which, by contrast, slowly propagates through the atomic nucleus into the valence shells, before it registers as a change on an electronic component. If Sansbury was right on this, then the difference between a conventional computer and the quantum computer described below would seem to be that the quantum version would run on the electron subparticles (the "subtrons") -- which it would appear from this press release can be forcibly leaked off of the electron itself by simply trapping it -- the advantage being, apparently, that -- in Sansbury's view, at least -- there is no slow propagation of the EM signal through the valence shells with the subtrons. It just becomes a virtually instantaneous transmission of subtrons.
So, is it time to ask if the electron is actually a fundamental particle? It would seem that much weird physics can be reduced to classical explanations with this single idea. He also claims to have demonstrated his idea with a fairly simple experiment

I know y'all be hatin, but it is indeed a simple explanation.
