"QUANTUM COMPUTERS Debuting Commerically in 2008!!"
a silicon chip that houses 16 "qubits," the equivalent of a storage bit in a conventional computer, connected to each other. Each qubit consists of dots of the element niobium surrounded by coils of wire. When electrical current comes down the wire, magnetic fields are generated, which, in turn, causes the change in the state of the qubit
