What are the ethical implications of future technology? We already have some of these "future" technologies, but they are still in their infancy. I'm talking about 3 areas in particular, nanotechnology, biotechnology and quantum computing and the various ways these can be used together in the...

http://esciencenews.com/articles/2009/01/22/quantum.teleportation.between.distant.matter.qubits For the first time, scientists have successfully teleported information between two separate atoms in unconnected enclosures a meter apart – a significant milestone in the global quest for practical...

A company called D-Wave has announced a Quantum Computer: First "Commercial" Quantum Computer Solves Sudoku Puzzles (this is a link to an article in Scientific American) I have to say, this article really raises those skeptical hairs on the back of my neck. They're demonstrating it by sending...

I have read a few articles (aimed at amateurs) about quantum computing. It seems the main attraction is the idea of performing the same operation on a huge number of inputs simultaneously through quantum superposition. Basically you have a bunch of specially constructed memory elements, each...

Found this via boing boing. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-02/uoia-qcs022106.php This is extremely interesting, even though I am pretty much clueless as to how quantum mechanics works. This will doubtless be cited to back up various ESP woo though.
