Editing Charge qubit (section)

To-date, the realizations of qubits that have had the most success are [[ion trap]]s and [[Nuclear magnetic resonance|NMR]], with [[Shor's algorithm]] even being implemented using NMR.<ref name=Rodrigues>[http://www.bristol.ac.uk/physics/media/theory-theses/rodrigues-da-thesis.pdf Superconducting Charge Qubits], by Denzil Anthony Rodrigues, page 3</ref> However, it is hard to see these two methods being scaled to the hundreds, thousands, or millions of qubits necessary to create a [[Quantum computing|quantum computer]]. [[Solid-state physics|Solid-state]] representations of qubits are much more easily scalable, but they themselves have their own problem: [[Quantum decoherence|decoherence]]. Superconductors, however, have the advantage of being more easily scaled, and they are more coherent than normal solid-state systems.<ref name=Rodrigues />
