IBM Touts Quantum Computing Breakthrough


Lucas123 writes "IBM today claimed to have been able to reduce error rates and retain the integrity of quantum mechanical properties in quantum bits or quibits long enough to perform a gate operation, opening the door to new microfabrication techniques that allows engineers to begin designing a quantum computer. While still a long ways off, the creation of a quantum computer would mean data processing power would be exponentially increased over what is possible with today's silicon-based computing."
