| Among the most promising candidates for quantum computers are quantum dots A more robust quantum computer might even prove mechanical in nature, Nori said. He and colleagues recently proposed using carbon nanotubes or silicon nanorods as mechanical qubits. Kasumov, Nori and colleagues plan experiments on buckling nanotubes this year, and mechanical qubits could appear within three years if they can produce superposition in the nanotubes, as hoped.
