Quantum computers could smash speed and security bottlenecks in electronics and completely change the world as we know it.
Or at least that's the promise of the technology, which always seems to be right around the corner. Now, however, a team led by researchers at Microsoft have said a working, useful quantum computing system finally seems to be within reach.
The team just published a paper about their scheme on the preprint server arXiv, and it predicts a working quantum computer in the next 10 years.
