Quantum leap towards computer of the future
By Rosanna Ryan

Sounds more a Quantum Lunch article, plenty of untangled sentences and quasi truths with plenty of mustard to fill it out. Not unusual faire for a ex-features hack with a lack of substantive knowledge.

Lets change the title, Lackluster leap to computer boredom. Today, scientists untangled the web of quantum computers by establishing that no matter how you cut it, quantum states and quantum entanglement are just a short sentence off an insanity plea.

Whether us mere mortals, can grasp that, each state is subject to the entanglement of any other or that Heisenberg was a Nazi, yet he is thrown a cue to appear every time someone thinks they actually understood the subject explains it all.

If Heisenberg was an uncertainty surely his mock science is too. Roll on Quantum computers, I'm certainly getting bored paying taxes to research it. Time to put up or shut up!

You have to give these nutty professor guys something to do, it help keep them off the streets and out the pubs where they can attack you ears with verbal diarrhea.

Having said that I notice your complaint about paying taxes to fund these guys, I'm not big on geography but isn't Nottingham in England ! or is the wicked sheriff still around gathering taxes and shipping them off to Oz, reckon you best go look for a certain Mr Hood in the woods to sort out your tax problems.

Didn't you know Nottingham is the centre (English spelling) of known universe when it comes to quantumnessness.  http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/News/ExpertiseGuide/Experts/F/ProfessorTomFoxon.aspx

I nerded that nugget from Google another supposed sucker of the spintronic revolution.

It never ceases to amaze me how people complain about the cost of scientific research whilst living lifestyles that rely upon it.

Science fund away.....Voodoo Hoodoo research into the plainly silly no. (Bouddy loves quantum physics but I am agast at the cash cow post-cold fusion generation of re-re-researcherasses who predict 75% likelyhood of a quantum state being measured by a tea driven atomic vector plotter, think its progress)

Its like yesterday. Breaking news, someone managed to create a bit using one atom using a "electron microscope", as if any time soon someone will manage to condense an electron microscope and its chiller unit down to the size of a convenient pocket size Iphone.
