Researchers at MIT and the University of Innsbruck last week announced that they had designed and constructed the world's first scalable quantum computer, a development that could make existing encryption technology obsolete. They built the computer using five atoms in an ion trap, according to a report published in the journal Science. The researchers used laser pulses to carry out an algorithm -- conceived in 1994 by MIT Professor Peter Shor -- on each atom to correctly factor the number 15.from TechNewsWorld http://ift.tt/1U2ja5Q
