I haven't looked into quantum computing in a while myself, the last time I looked at it the prototypes were all still toys, and it was mostly theory. I probably won't see a fully functioning quantum computer in my life time and I'm still young :) That said, the whole area of quantum computing is a play ground for theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians wanting to play games, and the whole area has spawned off much technology and industry as a result of the research work as engineers try to implement the ideas better as time goes by. quantum computing is indeed a god-made absurdity :P Jimmy -- Jimmy Tang Trinity Centre for High Performance Computing, Lloyd Building, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland. http://www.tchpc.tcd.ie/ | http://www.tchpc.tcd.ie/~jtang
