Thing, is the problem nowadays is not computing speed. The comuters are way ahead of the software so the interesting question is what apps will be developed that take advantage of the new ability. Leave it to gaming to push the envelope.

And "teleportation" as a term is a bit misleading. Matter was not physically moved from point A to point B: a property of a particle occupying point A was conveyed to a particle at point B. Big difference.

But, nonetheless, quantum computing is moving ahead. But, personally, I think light computing is the future. The knowlege of man - all of it - would fit in a teaspoon. And its comprehensible.

But, whoever is right, the future is very exciting.
