An exotic light-wielding computer that should be capable of immensely complex calculations has been designed by a team of British and Japanese researchers.

Bill Munro and Tim Spiller at Hewlett-Packard's research laboratory in Bristol, UK, and Kae Nemoto from the National Institute for Informatics in Tokyo, Japan, devised the quantum computer, which will control single photons of light using powerful laser pulses in order to process quantum bits - or qubits - of information.
