"Federal researchers say they've created the most robust quantum computer
ever, indicating that the concept is rapidly moving from theory to practice
and could create the most powerful computing devices ever dreamed of.

If the trend of increasing performance continues, a quantum computer that
triples today's fastest computers could be built in five years, according to
physicist Raymond Laflamme, who helped build the world's first 7-qubit
computer described in the most recent issue of Nature."
