Quantum computing in semiconductors doable
West Lafayette, Ind. | July 01, 2008 12:01:13 AM IST
U.S. physicists say the odd behavior of a molecule in an experimental silicon chip may lead to the possibility of achieving quantum computing in semiconductors. Purdue University researchers say they've created a hybrid molecule in which its quantum state can be intentionally manipulated -- a required step in the building of quantum computers. Up to now large-scale quantum computing has been a dream, said Professor Gerhard Klimeck, who is also associate director for technology for the national Network for Computational Nanotechnology. This development may not bring us a quantum computer 10 years faster but our dreams about these machines are now more realistic. The complex research is reported online in the journal Nature Physics.
