Having such a working source of large groups of photons brings us an important step closer to constructing one type of a quantum computer, able to perform certain calculations in much less time than the best modern computing machines. (sciencedaily.com)
According to Christopher Duhon of John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, the Pentium relies on a «lookup table» as a short cut for certain calculations. (newscientist.com)
It will also allow us to model quantum systems in a reasonable amount of time and is capable of doing certain calculations and simulations faster than one would typically be able to do.» (sciencedaily.com)
