A community portal about Quantum computers with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A quantum computer is any device for computation that makes direct use of distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. In a classical computer, the amount of data is measured by bits; in a quantum computer, the data is measured by qubits. The basic principle of quantum computation is that the quantum properties of particles can be used to represent and structure data, and that quantum mechanisms can be devised and built to perform operations with these data.
Future directions in computing Silicon electronics are a staple of the computing industry, but researchers are now exploring other techniques to deliver powerful computers. A quantum computer is a theoretical device that would make use of the properties of quantum mechanics, the realm of physics that deals with energy and matter at atomic scales. In a quantum computer data is not processed by electrons passing through transistors, as is the case in today's computers, but by caged atoms known... Read Full Story
Entangled Web: The optical components on this lab bench, such as mirrors and filters, allow researchers in Prem Kumar’s lab at Northwestern University to direct and manipulate light. In Kumar’s most recent work, he has created a quantum logic gate within an optical fiber; such gates could eventually enable networks of quantum computers. Credit: Prem Kumar The promise of quantum computers is tantalizingly great: near-instantaneous problem solving, and perfectly secure data transmission. For... Read Full Story
This thing will change the way you check your email....basically youll be able to access the intermatrix about 10 minutes into the future - then return your email that has yet to be sent yet....and then something about a cat in a box being alive at the same time. http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/08/quantum-computer-to-debut-next-tuesday/ Read Full Story
Science offers the boldest metaphysics of the age. It is a thoroughly human construct, driven by the faith that if we dream, press to discover, explain, and dream again, thereby plunging repeatedly into new terrain, the world will somehow come clearer and we will grasp the true strangeness of the universe. And the strangeness will all prove to be connected, and make sense.

Leaving aside some predictably stupid and ill-informed comments on Digg , there seems to be some cautious optimism for the apparently functioning adiabatic quantum computer unveiled by D-Wave in California/Canada yesterday. I’ll leave it to the experts to thrash out what it really means ( Scott Aaronson , The Quantum Pontiff , Coherence , Doug Natelson ), but there’s a surprising amount of negativity surrounding this launch. Gizmodo for one is rather less circumspect than I would expect... Read Full Story
An international team of scientists recently performed the ultimate miniaturization of computer memory: storing information at the nucleus of an atom. The breakthrough is a key step in bringing to life quantum computers, devices based on the theory of quantum mechanics.
In the quantum world, objects such as atoms can exist simultaneously in multiple states–that is, they could literally be in two places at once, or possess a number of other seemingly mutually exclusive properties. Quantum... Read Full Story
As I suggested in a previous post , which also showed my ignorance of the subtleties of the debate, the hype surrounding D-Wave ’s quantum computer has been tempered somewhat by the opinions of those in the quantum computing world that know infinitely more about it than I do. Responding to an article in The Economist that even I picked up on as hyperbole, Scott Aaronson has laid into them with a letter that attempts to put them straight on a few things. I find my initial enthusiasm for D... Read Full Story
All in one printers are getting very popular as they have the scanner and printer built into each other, removing the need for a computer when you simply want to print the scanned document. But there are still some very good Scanners that you can buy if you’re not in need of the printer as well.
Cannon are usually the first company I turn to look for scanners and printers because they have never disappointed me with Quality and Reliability and the Cannon CanoScan LiDE was no different... Read Full Story
