Quantum machine was the discovery of the year

The creation of the first bridge between the quantum universe from the infinitely small and the visible world was considered the most significant discovery in 2010, according to U.S. magazine Science. The magazine Nature had revealed last March, the discovery of this machine.

Before this discovery, the description of the movements of the machines was carried out according to the laws of classical mechanics.

Andrew Cleland, John Martinis achieved a quantum effect on a large piece of metal that could be observed without the aid of any instrument. Through the use of superconducting electric circuit, they could observe the piece of metal with small and big vibrations at the same time - this effect is only possible under the laws of quantum mechanics.

Now would be a matter of time until they can observe the same object in two different places at the same time - said Adrian Cho, a journalist from Science.
