[ExI] Quantum Computers

[john clark]

The enormous difficulty in achieving entanglement has been the roadblock in building a Quantum Computer, the world record is only 14 entangled Qbits and you'd thousands to do anything useful; but now there are hints that you might be able to make a Quantum calculation even with thousands of jumbled up bits as long as just one of them is entangled. That would be far far easier to achieve. If this pans out, and it might not, it could be as important as Nanotechnology.
