Sunport simply adds a small additional cost that provides the solar upgrade which also pays to help support new solar farms feeding even more solar into the grid.
This upgrade cost is considerably less than standard grid power, since it just for the upgrade and not the electricity itself.
As an example, a month solar upgrade for your laptop from a Sunport will cost no more than $2 extra,
and even less than $1 for many people. But, for backers of the current Kickstarter campaign, the Sunport comes with the first year solar included in the cost of the hardware.
there will be no extra cost for the solar upgrade. fter that, we expect unlimited solar will cost no more than a few of dollars a month,
That way, each Sunjoule micro credit upgrades a little bit of power today, helps add a little more new solar production to the grid

#Quantum computers take a leap forward after scientists build qubit logic gate on silicon chip A major step towards building quantum computers capable of performing formidable calculations at a fraction of the speed of current machines has been achieved.
Quantum computing takes advantage of the ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time.
In traditional computers available today, data is expressed in one of two states known as binary bits which are either a 1 or a 0. A quantum bit,
or qubit as it is known, can exist in both of these states at once, meaning many computations can be performed in parallel.
For example, two qubits can encode four different values while a three qubit system encodes eight different values.
This would allow new types of computers to be constructed that would far surpass the capabilities of modern super computers.
Professor Andrew Dzurak director of the Australian National Fabrication Facility at the University of New south wales, said:'
'We've demonstrated a two-qubit logic gate-the central building block of a quantum computer-and, significantly, done it in silicon.'
'This makes the building of a quantum computer much more feasible, since it is based on the same manufacturing technology as today's computer industry.'
'Until a few years ago quantum computers were little more than theoretical possibilities, but recent research has shown they could become a realistic proposition.
Both Google and Nasa have been developing a quantum computer as part of their artificial intelligence work. However their D-Wave quantum computer needs to be kept at temperatures of around-273°C(-459°F). The latest research by Professor Dzurak and his colleagues,
which is published in the journal Nature, has shown it is possible to build them using more conventional materials like silicon.
Their work is the first time two qubits have been able to'talk'to each other in a logic gate.
In a quantum computer, data is encoded in the'spin, 'or magnetic orientation, of individual electrons. Not only can they be in one of two'up'or'down'spin states,
so that they can work with qubits instead of bits. Lead author Dr Menno Veldhorst, also from the University of New south wales
'We've morphed those silicon transistors into quantum bits by ensuring that each has only one electron associated with it.'
'We then store the binary code of 0 or 1 on the'spin'of the electron,
'The team has taken now out a patent on a full-scale quantum computer chip that could perform functions involving millions of qubits.

What are quantum computers for? Quantum computers are a peculiar beast. Though the machines we've been building
since the 50s have been aiming to be as deterministic and reliable as possible so a certain input will always result in the same output in a quantum computer,
this dynamic is turned on its head, and predictability is sacrificed for (sometimes) incredible speedups. A quantum bit,
or qubit, has two awesome and confusing properties. First, it can set itself to both 0 and 1 at the same time.
And second, it can commune (or entangle) with other qubits to compound this ability. This means five entangled qubits can store
and process as much information as 32 (two to the power of five) classical bits; 10 qubits can do as much as 1, 000 classical bits;
and 300 fully entangled qubits can manipulate as many classical bits of information as there are atoms in the Universe.
You might think this would lead to much faster number-crunching over a regular computer and you'd be right, to a point.
A quantum computer can perform any operation a classical computer can, but its exponential speedups only take effect
when a quantum algorithm can process data in a massively parallel fashion, such as searching through a very large database,
virtually designing a new drug by choosing among quadrillions of possible combinations, or simulating the behavior of every single atom in your right toe.
However if the bulk of operations has to be performed in a sequential order, flowchart-style,
the results returned by a quantum algorithm are not deterministic. That is, even in the best of cases, a quantum computer is guaranteed never to return the correct result.
This usually means that a quantum algorithm must be run several times in succession to confirm that the solution is correct.
So, in practice, classical computers will probably be faster and more practical than quantum computers for day-to-day operations
and quantum computers will only come in useful where massive parallelism is involved. When they are let loose, though, their speed will be spectacular.
Quantum CMOS Most of the prototype quantum computers developed so far feature a limited number of entangled qubits made from exotic and expensive materials like cesium or diamonds and which,
in order to reduce external interference, need to be frozen nearly at temperatures just a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero.
However, researchers at UNSW are focusing on the potentially revolutionary approach of building quantum computers out of silicon, a material that is cheap
and which could ultimately pave the way for quantum computers with not 300 but thousands, even millions of fully entangled qubits.

"This two-qubit gate is most essential for a quantum computer and together with single qubit operations,
