A quantum computer to tackle fundamental science problems
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

For more than 50 years, Moore`s Law has reigned supreme. The observation that the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles roughly every two years has set the pace for our modern digital revolution-making smartphones, personal computers and current supercomputers possible. But Moore`s Law is slowing. And even if it wasn`t, some of the big problems that scientists need to tackle might be beyond the reach of conventional computers.
