"This method of using nuclei to store quantum information is in
principle scalable to systems containing many quantum bits, but such
scalability is not implied by the present work."

However, this one does use more bits than I've seen before, and that in
itself is a worrying trend. Guess I'd better read the article.

Cheers,
