Quantum computing, conceptual image. This image of a cube of computer circuitry represents future advances, including optical and quantum computing. Quantum computers, which are under development, are based on quantum mechanics and the principle of representing information using quantum properties. This could involve properties of chemically doped crystals. Quantum computing has the potential to massively increase computing power. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/VICTOR DE SCHWANBERG)
