The researchers were able to demonstrate the tiny diamond computer performing a search of an unsorted database of four choices (a test of "Grover's algorithm") with results they said showed it was operating in a quantum fashion. While a non-quantum search of such a database for a single, correct item of data would, on average, yield the correct answers after two tries, a quantum computer should be able to get the answer right the first time, every time.
The team's diamond-based quantum computer made the correct choice on its first try 95 percent of the time, Lidar said.

Looks promising.
