(PhysOrg.com) -- `Right now, classical computers are faster than quantum computers,` René Stock tells PhysOrg.com. `The goal of quantum computing is to eventually speed up the time scale of solving certain important problems, such as factoring and data search, so that quantum computing can not only compete with, but far outperform, classical computing on large scale problems. One of the most promising ways to possibly do this is with ion traps.`
