Universal Quantum computers could replace supercomputers within 5 years

Some researchers are predicting that the market for "universal" #quantumcomputers that do everything a #supercomputer can do plus everything a supercomputer can not do — in a chip that fits in the palm of your hand — are on the verge of emerging. The rise of quantum computing may be as important a shift as John von Neumann's stored program-and-data concept. Here are some of the scientists and breakthroughs that will enable this shift. Robert Schoelkopf (Yale, #QuantumCircuits inc) claims a number of "world's firsts," the latest of which is the longest "coherence time" for a quantum superposition
