half-möbius (13. 241)

Via Slashdot, we learn that IBM’s quantum computing laboratory along with a consortium of European technical universities have created a synthetic molecule C13C12 which demonstrates, a phenomenon never observed or even predicted, a unique electronic topology wherein a pulse of electrons travel through the structure in a corkscrew-like pattern. Assembled at Oxford atom by atom, the q-bit component comes in when it comes to understanding the near endlessly complex entanglement engineered of all possible states and superpositons of the particle flow, which quickly would overwhelm classical computers, increasing exponentially with each twist and turn, which can be expressed with certainty rather than projection and approximation. The chirality (see also here and here) can be switched and alter the material and chemical properties of the system.
