Thanks, Hilmar. I wonder how long it will be before any of this translates into a useful device. The subject has a strange fascination for me, although I really don't understand it. I wish I had the time to study this further, and qubit.org looks like a great place to start - it's one of the best organized and written, focused scientific sites I've ever seen.
