Light Bulbs Could Help Power Quantum Computers
A simple light bulb could be the key to making practical quantum computers a reality, opening the possibility for vastly more powerful data-crunching abilities. Researchers say they have taken another step towards building a new kind of computer that uses quantum bits or qubits. The quantum computer would be constructed by spraying electrons from a light bulb’s filament. Experts say the new technique is promising, but there’s a lot of work to be done before quantum computers are ready for your desktop....
