It looks like DARPA is getting back into funding academic research in quantum computing. Here is a new BAA for a program called QuEST. And it looks like they want revolution, not evolution:
DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of Quantum Entanglement Science and Technology (QuEST). Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in the fundamental understanding of quantum information science related to "small" quantum systems. Specifically excluded is research which primarily results in incremental improvement to the existing state of practice or knowledge.
Since I strongly believe quantum computers will be built on a revolution, and not an evolution, this makes me happy. Now if I can just find an experimentalist crazy enough to try some of my wacky ideas :)

I think it will hapen on dreamolution way.
