why michigan will always be better than ohio

According to an article at WIRED University of Michigan researchers have created the first quantum microchip. (Take that ohio!)

There is a down side to this. Quantum computing will be many orders of magnitude more powerful than the most powerful supercomputers we have now. As a result, current cryptographic algorithms will be made obsolete as quantum computing can crack traditional crypto schemes without breaking a sweat. What does that mean for you? All the computing you thought was secure (banking, online commerce, etc...) will all be vulnerable. The upside though is that they cost far too much to put them in the hands of most people... you are likely only to see them at universities, governments and other large institutions.
