Wonderful!

Not sure how they will entangle or superpose large set of registers,  
but that might be possible, at low temperature, or by squeezing the  
device somehow.


Anyway, that's already giant steps toward very powerful classical  
computers, and it is closer to quantum computation indeed, nobody  
knows to what that will lead, but that is what makes it so interesting.
