Breakthrough in quantum computing:

http://www.sciencealert.com/breaking-a-brand-new-type-of-qubit-has-been-unveiled-and-it-finally-makes-quantum-computers-scalable

now the race is on to make a real QC.

I hope that is as promising as it sounds. I have heard many such promising 'breakthroughs' before only to mysteriously hear nothing more about it forever afterwards. But I will try and keep a close eye on this one and we shall see.

Do you think quantum computers will be available on the shelf for anyone to buy within ten years? Yes or no?

Well, I'd say yes and no!
