I like the idea. Now here's the hard part start out with. How do you get a rocket powerful enough to carry a bull dozer and several other construction equipment onto the moon to start digging and building this super computer under neath the lunar surface?

. That would depend on the size of digger required to excavate a hole big enough to bury a super computer.I think the most commonly used digger excavators used on construction sites ranged from 1ton to about 50tons in size
To get it to the moon I should imagine one would require a launcher of the Saturn variety used in the Apollo program. I think, in various configurations they were capable of placing up to 50 tons into lunar orbit.

China currently leading the research into Quantum Teleportation?

"..............China plans to launch a satellite with a quantum teleportation experiment payload in 2016 and the European, Japanese, and Canadian space agencies are hoping to fund their own quantum teleportation satellite projects in the coming years. Conspicuously, the U.S. is far behind the pack because of a bureaucratic reshuffling that left quantum communication research experiments without government support in 2008. Whoever loses this new competition could fail to capitalize on the promise of quantum communication altogether. ....................."


NB. The page for the above link also contains links to other interesting firsts, by chinese scientists in the field of quantum teleportation.

China on Monday showcased the world's first alpine high-speed rail line, which threads through the country's three northeastern provinces.

A test train departed from Harbin West Station, located in the capital of Heilongjiang Province, on Monday morning for Dalian, a port city in Liaoning Province.

With a trial speed averaging 300 km per hour, the train completed the 921-kilometer journey in about four hours.

Engineers with the railway project said the rail track built using cutting-edge technology can accommodate temperatures between 40 degrees Celsius below zero and 40 degrees Celsius above freezing.
Trains will be able to run at an average of 350 km per hour on the line after safety tests are conducted...
