    Scientists create 10 billion qubits in silicon, get us closer than ever to quantum computing

    Quantum Computing,We here This Term Only In Some Of Science fiction movies,In Real It is High To Our Perception.Things moving Very Fast we been Travelling From fiction to Reality.Day may come In Near Future where We See Every Fasinating thing shown in Science fiction Movies.
    Yes This May become a Part Of Regular Life In Rear Future as Scientists create 10 billion qubits in silicon, get us closer than ever to quantum computing.

    Qunatum Computing ,The World Itself Is Pretty Hard To Get into Head.Qunatum computing Is Very complex Thing For a common Man to understand.Combining physics, mathematics and computer science, quantum computing has developed in the past two decades from a visionary idea to one of the most fascinating areas of quantum mechanics.
    What I Know Is It will be able to solve certain problems much faster than any current classical computers.
    This Is An historic Step along the way to our supposed quantum future.An international team of Scientists from Oxford University have made a significant step towards an ultrafast quantum computer by successfully generating 10 billion bits of quantum entanglement,The Basic Building blocks in silicon for the first time.

    Entanglement is the key ingredient that promises to make quantum computers far more powerful than conventional computing devices.

    The team's next step will be to entangle the pairs of qubits with one another, forming a massive-scale quantum computer.
    The researchers used high magnetic fields and low temperatures to produce entanglement between the electron and the nucleus of an atom of phosphorous embedded in a highly purified silicon crystal, a university release said.

    The electron and the nucleus behave as a tiny magnet, or 'spin', each of which can represent a bit of quantum information.

    Suitably controlled, these spins can interact with each other to be coaxed into an entangled state the most basic state that cannot be mimicked by a conventional computer.
    Quantum Computer use The power of atoms to perform computational Tasks.

    This Appears To be a Very Significant moment in The field Of Qunatum Mechanics and Computing From the Day It was First Orginated with Paul Benioff, working at Argonne National Labs, in 1981. He theorized a classical computer operating with some quantum mechanical principles.
