The 5 atoms operate as both processor and memory and, according to IBM, demonstrates the potential for ultra velocity beyond current computing standards.Quantum computing is based on the interpretation of the spin of sub-atomic particles. Particles have two spins - up and down - and these can correspond to the digital binary code of ones and zeroes. The wild style is super-positioning: the quantum phenomenon of particles spinning up and down simultaneously. Chuang considers that a quantum computer’s power will lie in its xen-like ability to add up all the numbers at the same time, rather than by the conventional computational method of addition of numbers in sequential order.With Moores Law expected to hit a feasibility wall by about 2020 at the latest, and experts agreeing that conventional transistors are going to be in big trouble when they hit 0.1 micron level [probably about 2012], Chuang expects quantum computing to take over when conventional chip architectures reach their maximim minimum.Chuang and his crew expect to build their next quantum machine of 7-10 molecules within the next 2 years.
