Light-based Quantum Circuit Does Basic Maths 198
Stochastism writes "In yet another small step toward realistic quantum computing Australian researchers have developed a light based 4-qubit quantum computer. It has already calculated the prime roots of fifteen, three and five. 'The quantum circuit pioneered by the Queensland researchers involves using a laser to send "entangled" photons through a linear optical circuit ... The Queensland research group acknowledged that the theorised code cracking ability of quantum computers may be why Australian quantum computer research is in part funded by a US government defence intelligence agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).'"

There are various accepted abbreviations for the word mathematics, and one is as good as any other. In Germany, the abbreviation is "Mathe," in Britain and Canada, it is "maths," and in the USA, it is "math."

"People who speak very good English"
Should be: "People who speak English very well".
"Almost as bad as "loose" instead of "lose", but non-native English speakers get a pass since they don't know any better."
Should be two sentences without the "but". You have several similar errors involving the word "But".
Additionally, please try to eliminate your use of run-on sentences.
