New quantum computing paradigm could make all the difference

A new approach to quantum computing -- working with photons, or "photonic computing" -- has recently attracted a lot of attention, not least because I've been talking about it, cough. But there's something I haven't mentioned, which is that photonic quantum computing uses a fundamentally different method -- measurement-based quantum computing -- that could push forward its competitors as well. It's a somewhat technical story, but I've tried my best to give you the summary.
