A Quantum Leap In Quantum Computing

Good news to all those who dream of the possibilities tomorrow's computers may hold! A few good physicists have managed to create a nano-scale light emitter which could possibly lead to new photonic components. While still quite some distance from application, this is a groundbreaking development. For more details, check this article from Physorg.com.

If that wasn't enough, these guys also managed to increase the efficiency of their calculation methods dramatically. The result, needless to say, is a win situation for their continued research and future development. It really is exciting to witness the creation of a technology with equal or greater potential than the development of electronics. I only hope that we are able to see it applied in a way that will make the world a better place. There is much power in technology, and it is our responsibility to wield it properly.
