They quoted an IBM VP in the article at "12-24 months" for something like this to show up in commercial products. I don't think I would look for it quite that fast.

I saw the experimental setup in their lab one time..... But I think we're overlooking the obvious here....the chip reportedly runs at 350 Ghz *at room temperature*. That's 175 times faster than today's common chips. I don't think that it will take 10 years to get that technology into commercial use.....
