MIT researchers just confirmed the existence of a third form of magnetism and it could be the key to making quantum computing a practical reality. The team made and supercooled a crystal that exhibits a quantum spin liquid state, where the magnetic directions of each particle never line up. That odd behavior, in turn, leads to quantum entanglement (in which distant particles affect each other's magnetism) that would be ideal for computers. http://www.engadget.com/2016/04/05/quantum-spin-liquid-confirmed/
