Physicists Convert Information Into Energy

There is no conventional transfer of energy into the system: no heating or accelerating of molecules or some such. Instead, information itself seems to be the medium through which energy is transferred.

Quantum Computing Within Reach Thanks To UK Researchers

O’Brien has stated that “many people in the field had believed a functional quantum computer would not be a reality for at least 25 years,” but here’s his quote on what his team has accomplished: “However, we can say with real confidence that, using our new technique, a quantum computer could, within five years, be performing calculations that are outside the capabilities of conventional computers.”
