Critical Advance in Quantum Computing

[joigus]

This looks like no hype at all. My feeling is that this has the makings of a real breakthrough in quantum computing. The possible implications for investigations in climate models, protein-folding, virology models, etc. are mouth-watering. I can't wait for the moment when this chip is finally built.

Dr. Pla and the team introduced a new component directly above the silicon chip—a crystal prism called a dielectric resonator. When microwaves are directed into the resonator, it focuses the wavelength of the microwaves down to a much smaller size.
