Scientists Figure Out How to Wire Quantum Computers
This is HUGE. Sure a successful quantum computer has been tested, but making the chips is the important thing. Without chips that can be mass produced, making quantum computers is just as much a dream as warp drive. Now … we’re a step closer:
Enter RIKEN, a team of Japanese researchers who now are able to “controllably couple qubits.” Thought not the first to accomplish this (a team at UC Berkley did so last year), the Japanese findings confirm that qubit coupling is the real deal. Wired calls qubit coupling “analogous to the wiring of transistors on a circuit board. When qubits are coupled, they can affect one another — thus acting as something like classical logic gates.”

coupling quantum bits that have three states? wow that sounds very promising. I hope they will be able to achieve it.
