I.B.M. Researchers Inch Toward Quantum Computer

I.B.M. is jumping into an area of computing that has, until now, been
primarily the province of academia: the quest to build a quantum computer.
.
A computer that took advantage of the oddities of quantum physics could
solve in seconds certain problems that would occupy present-day computers
for billions of years. But for now, it is impossible to build such a
computer because the bits of information it would need for the
calculations fall apart before a calculation can be completed. The problem
is, in essence, like trying to knit a sweater with yarn that unravels
before the first purl.
.
On Tuesday, I.B.M. researchers will present experimental results that they
say put them close to solving this problem, both by lengthening the
lifetime of the quantum bits of information and by quickening the pace of
computation. The presentation will take place at a meeting of the American
Physical Society in Boston.
.
In the past, people have said, maybe its 50 years away, its a dream, maybe
itll happen sometime, said Mark B. Ketchen, manager of the physics of
information group at I.B.M.s Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown
Heights, N.Y. I used to think it was 50. Now Im thinking like its 15 or a
little more. Its within reach. Its within our lifetime. Its going to
happen.
.
Many university researchers have done good work solving the basic science
problems, Dr. Ketchen said, but its going take an I.B.M. in the end to put
it together.
.
Its still too early for I.B.M. to have a commercial product in mind, but
computer scientists are encouraged that the company is paying attention.
