We always knew that one day, quantum computers would be powerful enough to blow traditional processors out of the water. A new quantum simulator from the University of Sydney has, and we're quoting here, "the potential to perform calculations that would require a supercomputer larger than the size of the known universe." Mind = blown.

Diamonds, well known for being utterly useless piles of carbon atoms, may in fact be good for something: flaws inside them have been turned into an operational quantum computer.

Physicists have just created a working transistor out of a tiny phosphorous atom placed within atomic scale electrodes all within a silicon crystal. It's the precision with which the atom and the other constructs are placed that is key to this breakthrough.

Studies have recently shown tiny wires made by precisely placing chains of phosphorus atoms within a silicon crystal has been proven to have excellent electrical conductivity. The new silicon wire is four atoms wide and one atom tall showing that "electrical resistivity" — or ease with which the current can flow — definitely doesn't depend on wire width.

What would you do with 128 programmable quantum bits? If you're not certain, perfect, that's just what it's designed for. Just for heaven's sake don't look at it or it'll stop working. Welcome to the wonderful world of quantum mechanics.
