Quantum computing with individual atoms

The University of Michigan researchers have successfully cooled a single atom to near absolute zero using laser cooling, a crucial step toward scaling up trapped atom computers. The proposal outlines a 'quantum charge-coupled device' architecture that could be used for large-scale quantum computing.

IBM's test-tube quantum computer makes history

Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research Center performed the first demonstration of Shor's historic factoring algorithm, solving a simple version of the mathematical problem at the heart of many data-security systems. The team controlled a billion molecules in a test tube to become a seven-qubit quantum computer.
