That is only part of the problem. Yes, this (possibly Nobel-worthy) research indicates method of creating a very rapid detectable signal. However, there is another part of this needed: a sufficiently rapidly switched laser to create the field effect.
This is definitely distinct from “femto-second pulses” of laser light. It gets to the heart of the whole system’s design.
Yes indeed, there's a LOT of work that may be rather difficult to complete any time soon.
Yes indeed, there's a LOT of work that may be rather difficult to complete any time soon. But, it's fun to know that there is new and exciting thing to work toward in the future. There is a huge difference between the first airplanes and those of today - and, there will likely be little use for home computers like we have today and what we'll be using a the future.
