Most recently, a team from Stanford took the helm of Sequoia to run computational fluid dynamics simulations -- a process that requires a finely tuned balance of computation, memory and communication components -- in order to better understand engine noise from supersonic jets.

The quantum integrated circuit includes two quantum bits (qubits), a quantum communication bus, two bits of quantum memory, and a resetting register comprising a simple quantum computer.

However, in the context of capturing work-related communication to facilitate collaboration or create an audit trail, face-to-face communication has a few weaknesses (my ability to accurately capture notes and my memory of the myriad conversations I have about work every day being just two of them).
