The Nerd's Eye View

Or rather what was for 6 years, my life. Hard as it may be to figure this out from reading the blog or talking to me, I spent 6 years doing fundamental research into quantum transport in semiconductors. When I was done it felt like quantum computing was a million years away. Now here comes news that a company in Oregon has made it happen. It's still at extremely low temperatures, but the demonstrated solving capability is quite impressive. And science marches on.
