    Australian researchers build first two-qubit logic gate in silicon

    Claim it is "a game changer," in the task of building of a quantum computer.

    Maybe in the future all FPUs will include a few Qbits to take take of those tricky devisions....

    Still really confused by this. By definition you can't be 100% certain of anything when talking quantum computing. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle applies across whole spectrum. Binary code apply to absolutely certain states. Either it is 0 or 1. You can't do that with qubits which can exist in both states (superposition) at the same time. Weird stuff. I know I missing some vital detail here, but still, if it works as advertised then quantum computing is coming big way.

    Maybe they'll also be able to run a super-powerful spell and grammar checker too. It would seem that the current offerings are not powerful enough for some people.

    You have to to develop a longer brain than most of us to program it.

    That's not how the uncertainty principle works. That is about the accuracy of measuring two related properties. The general example is velocity and position. The more accurately you measure one, the less accurately you can know the other.

    As we're only dealing with one property of the electrons, spin, this doesn't apply.

    Such wonderful advances in pc technology is very inspiring. Ultimately, it will go the same way as all other technology - to download and watch porn. Hahaha.

    So is RSA broken? So all HTTPS sites are no longer secure? O.o

    Once these things are fully operational, in theory, yes, most current encryption will be obsolete.
