Researchers Develop Quantum Processor

14 Jan, 2006 at 7:48pm ET Article published in Tech

A computer chip based on the esoteric science of quantum mechanics has been created by researchers at the University of Michigan. The chip might well pave the way for a new generation of supercomputers.

“With quantum mechanics, an object can be in two places at the same time, as long as you don’t look at it,” he said. The quantum computer architecture can store quantum bits (qubits) of information, where each qubit can hold the numbers one or zero, or even both digits simultaneously.

3 Oct 2003 ~ 2:39am Shorty Im gonna go a-huntin round Vbulletin.org.. just see what I can find

You are dead meat mate
3 Oct 2003 ~ 2:41am MediaMan Me!!??!!??

All I did was a little photoshop work. A "touch up" here and there. I'm innocent I tell ya. I'm innocent.

Prime made me do it.
3 Oct 2003 ~ 10:20am primesuspect Leave me out of this one. As a fellow vertically challenged person, I can sympathize with all the jabs. I got nothin to do with this one.

Shorty, you understand, right?

Shorty? Where did he go?

OH! Didn't see you down there, mate. Sorry!
3 Oct 2003 ~ 11:03am Shorty /me walks tall..

Revenge will be mine. You have the same access to the admin CP as I do.. however.. I have the knowledge of Vbulletin...

That you don't

/me looks up and sneers
3 Oct 2003 ~ 11:35am MediaMan How come I see you rolling up on one of those mopeds like some British gang in The Kids are Alright. I think I'll chuckle nervously.

But....

Oh yes....but I hold the trump card...the power of the pair...In Canada I can go see my MP about this sort of thing...a CHIP off the old block you might say...Yes...I think I'll PROCESS that OR think about that for a while.

/me like the dog he is...shifts the focus onto Prime.

Prime: Inside joke...Shorty is looking to snag two MP processors from me.

/me drops into character

And I'll do anything to save my poor wretched hide from the impending "doom of the Shorty!" (thunder crack and ground shaking)
