First Programmable Quantum Computer Created
The NIST computer consists of two quantum gates, one single qubit gate and an entangled two qubit gate. The gates utilized two beryllium ions stimulated with UV lasers to represent operations. The test programs run came back with 79% correct results. Certainly not perfect, but a huge step forward. You won’t be dropping one of these into a socket on your motherboard anytime soon, but maybe someday.

AMD Slowly Gains Share in GPU Market at Nvidia’s Expense
According to Jon Peddi research, growth in shipments of discrete videocards might mean the recession is winding down. It’s also good news for AMD, whose graphics market share has been on the rise thanks to a combination of stabilizing pricing and a hot-selling Radeon product line.
