Quantum computing edges ever closer...

Essential Linkage: A new crystalline 'hybrid material' promises fault-resistant quantum computers...

Let's kick off the morning with a link and a bit of supremely hard science - QUANTUM SCIENCE!!!

Our pals over at ITnews have just posted a great little piece on a new materials breakthrough about a hybrid material with a 'split electronic personality'. It's essentially a crystal structure with a metal-like surface and a superconducting inner material.

How heavy is the article?

Researchers said it could be used to create and manipulate Majorana fermions - particles theorised to be the building block of a self-correcting quantum computer.

I have no idea what that means - but it sounds awesome. So get your quantum on (or off, or maybe both) and head on over to ITnews.

wraith676 Nov 5, 2010 10:31 AM	Sounds fantastic, next we need a wetware interface for our brain and we could really have some fun :D
Hawkeye Nov 5, 2010 10:33 AM	Nah - more than happy for constructive stuff to stand :) I really shouldn't write un-subbed copy before my second coffee!
wraith676 Nov 5, 2010 10:37 AM	Ha, i can relate. However it is a friday so its completely understandable.
ArcaneMagik Nov 5, 2010 1:36 PM	It's all fun and games until the Crystalline material starts killing us all.
SceptreCore Nov 5, 2010 3:35 PM	If I'm not mistaken Dave, that crystalline structure attacked several Federation colonies before the Dr Marr used a continuous graviton beam and destroyed it. I think we can do without it for now. :P
iruss71 Nov 5, 2010 6:01 PM	Can I put this in my brain??
17 Nov 6, 2010 5:17 PM	I think it's the other way around- we get rid of our inferior, fleshly bodies and put our brain in it to exist in pure quantam thought processes.
jdog Nov 7, 2010 6:07 PM	so we become cybermen/women?...no thanks i like flesh to much...
Hawkeye Nov 8, 2010 9:46 AM	Cybermen? Pfft. I'll take a mil-spec Megatech body and cyberbrain any day of the week.
jdog Nov 8, 2010 12:30 PM	i wanna see that photoshoped on the cover of the next atomic issue.... with the title: hollingworth - gone cyber...or something like that... would be a cool joke to end the year..

wayke Nov 15, 2010 10:54 AM	Now ghosts and crap and psychic stuff are included in Quantum FIZSICKS, So who needs wetware with the mind directly indirectly nonlocaly hooked to a quantum computer oh i just got hacked someone stole my childhood and ghosts will be uploading themselves into peoples brains it will be chernobyl all over again with the skinny hookers with no breasts this is an outrage the church will come down on this because it will prove there is no soul and quantum computing is evil etc etc a bird told me this btw.
