Qubits Stored at Room Temp For Two Seconds

nmpost writes with news of another step toward practical quantum computers. From the article: "Scientists have successfully overcome one of the obstacles in quantum computation by storing data on quantum bits (qubits) for about two seconds at room temperature. Many of the current systems utilize extremely complex and costly equipments to trap an individual electron or atom in a vacuum at absolute zero temperature. However, a team of researchers from Harvard University have solved the problem of working at normal temperature by using diamonds, which are atomically pure materials on Earth."

First fail, to be more exact.

Excellent!

Diamonds instead of costly equipment? Excellent! This will pair well with my Faberge egg-powered processor.
