Scientists demonstrate 'universal' programmable quantum processor

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated the first "universal" programmable quantum information
processor able to run any program allowed by quantum mechanics -- the rules governing the submicroscopic world -- using two quantum bits (qubits) of information. The processor could be a module in a future quantum computer, which theoretically could solve some important problems that are intractable today.
