Yeah, I know this news flash has been posted before, but here's another
description.

Quantum discovery could mean faster computer chips
http://CNN.com/2000/TECH/computing/09/27/photon.chips/index.html

Using modern quantum physics, scientists have determined
that mysterious light particles could behave in a manner
that smashes conventional roadblocks in the way of creating
much more powerful computer parts.

Pairs of so-called entangled photons possess esoteric
characteristics that could allow manufacturers to produce
far superior computer chips than current technology allows,
said a team of international researchers.
