Practical implementations ?

• The answer is YES

– assemblies of individual atoms trapped by
lasers
– optical circuits, for example using photonic
crystals
– semiconductor-based designs, usually
including atomic-scale control of dopant atom
distribution or quantum dots
– superconducting electronics
