So, in short, quantum computers are now powerful enough to play really lame games from India.

Which, if you had access to a clue, you would realize it demonstrates progress in a important field.

The towers of Hanoi was invented by Édouard Lucas in 1883. This news also in Jack and the beanstalk, no beanstalk. Five apples in one hand , six oranges in the other = really big hands.

It's amusing. You come to physorg to get the latest developments in science, but when something minor like this is reported, it gets scoffed at. If you only want the important science news, watch CNN... otherwise don't complain. :) With all due respect.

Damn...this is a way cooler version of Towers of Hanoi than we did during a micro-robotics project (using stereolitographed disks of 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8mm in diameter with an optical fiber as the poles and a telemanipulated microrobot to move them)

move the photons –– particles of light


Photons aren't particles, nor are they waves. Those two are simply approximations of behaviour under different circumstances. The real nature of a photon can't be fully described by either.

Why not just call photons with their real name: they're the quanta of light. (singular: quantum)

Well, you can't expect someone to explain quantum-mechanical processes in an article aimed at the layman by using the word 'quantum'. That would be...circular.
