Quantum Computers [posted by Troy]
Check out this Nature article about Futre of Computing. It is pretty cool to see the predictions of where computers will be going. Here's a quote: In conventional, or classical, computers, information is stored as strings of bits: binary digits each of which can take the value of 0 or 1. The same is true for quantum computers, except that this time the binary digits — 'qubits' — are stored in the quantum states of microscopic systems, such as the electronic state of an atom or ion. So by its very nature, a quantum machine should be much better suited to simulating quantum systems than a classical computer.
