Generally the machines we are using now works by the law related to classical mechanics but the scientists from the University of California at Santa Barbara had designed a gadget which can only be described by quantum mechanics, rules that governs the behavior of tiny things like molecules, atoms, and subatomic particles.
Physicists Andrew Cleland and John Martinis and their colleagues designed a machine, a tiny metal paddle of semiconductor, visible to the naked eye behaves according to quantum mechanics laws.
Science and its publisher, AAAS, the nonprofit science society, have recognized this first quantum machine as the 2010 Breakthrough of the Year.
