Single-atom writer a landmark for quantum computing

indeed, figuring out how to code for it will take some time but it's interesting to observe the evolution, a device that switches using one electron is going to be fast, very fast. If these devices can be produced with current technology in manufacturing, then it might be happening sooner than you think, unless you are very old, over 50?

There's a paper showing quantum computing is no different to analog computing. There's nothing different or mysterious that you can do with it. It is just an analog computer but faster.

It is nice to see the next step. But once they have been able to develop a quantumcomputers things such as other hardware and security should be improved too to prevent problems. (I guess qubits can make the hacking of systems used nowadays much easier and faster, I would say that these should be improved first.) As for the hardware I think RAM should be improve to make quantumcomputers work.
