Leif:

You obviously missed the memo describing how these new processors have 
abandoned the use of binary bits for trinary "trits". By moving to the new 
trinary standard which registers positive, negative and neutral electric charge 
per "trit", entirely new features are possible. This is an intermediate step 
before the jump to quantum qubits.

Oh, and this is of course already available as just another virtual machine 
environment in the Linux implementation of VMWare.
