Aussie’s ‘absolute zero’ quantum computing breakthrough – The Australian Financial Review
How do you control a computer that’s colder than the outer reaches of the universe? A Microsoft-backed team at the University of Sydney has figured it out.
The University of Sydney team, backed by Microsoft and led by the world-renowned Australian quantum physicist Professor David Reilly, says it has now figured out how to let qubits remain at millikelvin temperatures, and still run sufficient control wires to them, to tell the qubits what to do and then read out the results, all from a computer operating at the relatively scorching room-temperature required by human operators.
The invention is made up of two main components: a chip that sits alongside…
