I wonder what other applications this will eventually be used for as the technology on this grows?

ScienceDaily (July 27, 2011) — A team of Purdue University researchers is among a small group in the world that has successfully created ultrapure material that captures new states of matter and could have applications in high-speed quantum computing.
The material, gallium arsenide, is used to observe states in which electrons no longer obey the laws of single-particle physics, but instead are governed by their mutual interactions
New material lets electrons 'dance' and form new state
