Stephen till of the defence science and Technology Laboratory (dtsl) under the Ministry of defence declared that this marked a milestone.
It is reported that classical computers use "0" or "1" ordinary "bits" to process data, while "qubit" also allows the existence of unique "superposition states", thus opening up a new computing application.
