How can this possible?

Quantum computing may be the future and this is a speedy breakthrough in using light.  In fact it was actually a new speed record for this type of application. Companies like Intel and D-Wave Systems have poured a ton of money and resources into this area.  Most microprocessors compute on a series of states of 0 or 1. Quantum computing uses something called q-bits which can handle multiple scenarios.  Can you get your mind around that?  Pretty trippy:

Researchers at Duke University, however, are getting closer to creating this kind of a light source. A team from the Pratt School of Engineering was able to push semiconductor quantum dots to emit light at over 90 gigahertz.

This is somewhat reminiscent of the first Terminator movie.

Whoa…let’s check out more about this insanely fast computing process in the video on page 2
