New kind of quantum computer moves closer

A U.S. physicist has shown it is feasible to read data stored in the magnetic 'spins' of phosphorus atoms - a step toward creating a superfast computer.

'Our work represents a breakthrough in the search for a nanoscopic mechanism that could be used for a data readout device,' said Christoph Boehme, assistant professor of physics at the University of Utah.
