So guys, is this new rock they found the key to Quantum Computing?

Anybody have links besides the New Scientist article? Wiki isn't that helpful.

I always felt quantum computing would be more.. purple..

It is crystalized energon. By removing all other substances in the aggregate and inserting the crystal in a positron chamber, we can harness enough energy to bring about the second age of Unicron.

I wish that there were some more substance to this thread, because this is a subject that I am very interested in studying.

However, it appears that either the OP is an obvious ROCK TROLL, or they are terribly inept at initiating intelligent conversations.

Its known as HerbertSmithite (google it, not making this shit up). Apparently the mineral has a certain molecular lattice qualities that prevent the particle spins from lining up....or something.

Apparently there's interesting aspects regarding quantum computing to be gleaned from this.

We tried that, but the anomalies in subspace background radiation had an adverse affect on the warp nacelles, so we had to shut it down. We're now scanning the sector with a tachyon beam while Gene masterbates to more Wesley bullshit.

This will be the new silicon for the Quantum Age.

Thank you Herbert.

Will they rename Silicon Valley the Quantum Valley?

We can barely optimize code for multiple processors, would quantum programming be that intuitive as coding for regular von neumann architecture?

Weird, I woke up thinking about a machine that could turn light into a liquid.... though I was entertaining fantasies of being the first human drink sunlight and becoming a veritable God

>Herbertsmithite is unusual because its electrons are arranged around triangles in a two dimensional Kagome lattice. Normally, electrons prefer to have their spins to be in the opposite direction to that of their immediate neighbors, but in a triangle this is impossible -- there will always be neighboring electrons spinning in the same direction. Such kind of frustration makes spins in herbertsmithite not to know where to point to and to form a random fluctuating state -- a spin liquid.
