NEC claimt dat het een fundamentele doorbraak heeft gedaan in het onderzoek naar quantum computers. Check deze info bij The Register:
According to NEC, the consortium has developed the fundamental building block for a future quantum computer by controlling the superposition of quantum states in a solid state electron device.The quantum states are used to represent data as a quantum bit or qubit, with similar characteristics to the binaries used by current machines.
And NEC claims that when a machine is built using the breakthrough, it will allow computation to be thousands or millions of times more powerful than current supercomputers.
