This morning on the bbc world service, there was a discusion about quantum mechanics. They said that when quantum mechanics comes to processor speed / memory chips, it could drastically increase the speed of the processor & drastically increase the computer's memory. (Sounds amazingly like's Damian's talk, except that he has it working in perl... :) ) Unfortunatly, they don't have a link yet to the story which I could link too (as of 6.40 edt). Update: Got an email response (personal) from the newsdesk@bbc.co.uk. They told me that what you hear on the radio is not a 1 to 1 ratio of what is available on the website. Consequently, there is no online version of this story...
