... An internal investigation into the creation of a research facility for the development of a quantum computer We are nearly five years into the new century and we still have not found a solution to the breakdown of Moore's law. After ten years of continually shrinking the chip size surely we are now ready to move on in a different direction. The age of the silicon computer is coming to an end. It is time for us to move on. The future is in the development of the quantum computer. We must begin research now before it is too late. As the New York Times science writer George Johnson puts it, "Quantum computing would be to ordinary computing what nuclear energy is to fire." Conventional computers make use of two different electrical states known as bits. They are on "or" off, in 1s or 0s. Research by prominent physicists has shown that,
