Improving quantum computers
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

For decades, experts have predicted that quantum computers will someday perform difficult tasks, such as simulating complex chemical systems, that can`t be done by conventional computers. But so far, these machines haven`t lived up to their potential because of error-prone hardware. That`s why scientists are working to improve the qubit-the basic hardware element of quantum computers, according to an article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society.
