Researchers at the University of Queensland have made the very first execution of a quantum calculation. By manipulating entangled photons, they calculated the prime factors of the number 15.<\/p>\n
In addition to being a major step towards building the first quantum computers, this breakthrough is of interest because it could potentially be used to break the kinds of strong encryption that elude conventional computers.<\/p>\n
