We're unsure as to how we should take the claims of Atom Chip Corporation, which maintains it will show off a 2TB diskless notebook based on a 6.8GHz "quantum-optical" microprocessor at next January's Consumer Electronics Show.

An image of said notebook, the Atom Chip SG220-2, popped up on a number of websites this week. According to Atom Chip's own description, the machine has no hard drive, relying instead on the company's "non-volatile Quantum-Optical RAM" of which it's packed with 2TB.

1TB RAM? 2TB HD?

Not to mention the fact that that 1TB is still accessed through a 200 pin SODIMM slot... I'm sorry. No.

There are companies being developed at my university that are starting with quantum computing, and they're just scratching the surface of where we were about 20 years ago with Silicon. With enough development, it will quickly surpass silicon technologies, but that will still take a number of years.
