Annotation: This source is relevant to my research paper because it gives a detailed timeline on the history of quantum computers and computing.

Timeline of quantum computing. (n.d.). In Wikipedia. Retrieved February 12, 2011, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_quantum_computing

Annotation: This source was another good way to complete my Background section of the paper to make a detailed timeline about the development of quantum computers. It includes the chronological timeline.

Quantum Decoherence. (n.d.). In Wikipedia. Retrieved February 19, 2011, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_decoherence#Examples_of_non-unitary_modelling_of_decoherence

Annotation: This website helped me when I searched for the problems with quantum computers. It includes the information about quantum decoherence and examples of it.

Bonsor, K., & Strickland, J. (2000, December 8). How Quantum Computers Work. Retrieved February 17, 2011, from HowStuffWorks.com: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/quantum-computer.htm

Annotation: This source is helpful because it contains the information about the recent developments in quantum computers as well as how they theoretically work.

What is Quantum Computation? (2010, April 22). Retrieved February 14, 2011, from Quantiki: http://www.quantiki.org/wiki/What_is_Quantum_Computation%3F

Annotation: This source explains what the qubits are, what values they have, and how the quantum computer is supposed to work as well as the quantum decoherence.

Lloyd, S., Divincenzo, D., & Whaley, B. (2003). Will Computers Take A Quantum Leap? (R. Kuhn, Interviewer) Retrieved February 17, 2011, from PBS: http://www.pbs.org/kcet/closertotruth/explore/show_08.html

Annotation: This source is very credible because it is based on the discussion of the three leading scientists in the field of quantum computing who participated on the PBS show. They talked about the future prospects of quantum computers.

1999: Quantum Computing. (2011). Retrieved February 15, 2011, from AT&T Labs: http://www.corp.att.com/attlabs/reputation/timeline/99quantum.html

Annotation: This source is also reputable because AT&T Labs did a lot of research in the field of quantum computing and this is their official website. The information included is mainly about qubits and the differences between quantum and classical computer.
