For the Knights of the Round Table, the holy grail is, well, the holy grail. The holy grail for computer geeks is a little different, but perhaps just as legendary – quantum computing. While super performing PCs powered by quantum bits sound good in theory, achieving results in the real world is a lot harder than just talking about it. Fortunately, that doesn't stop scientists. A team of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have managed to entangle two ions using a small microwave device, which could be a key step in the quest for quantum computing.

Man I love all your posts like this Brink! Thanks! Keeping up in the latest and greatest is just so cool. I can look at the new discoveries they make today and say "In 5-10 years, everyone will know about this, and I can say I was one of the first to hear of it!" haha.

Dang! My barber did that 20 years ago!! Probably accounts for my receding hair line.
