Australian invention will see ‘transformational’ scaling up of quantum computers, experts say – ABC News

Australian researchers have unveiled an invention being hailed as “the first decent pick and shovel” in the “gold rush” to develop large quantum computers.
Key points:

• A new kind of chip that works in ultra-low temperatures removes a major barrier to scaling up quantum computers
• Experts say it could lead to much faster quantum computers within the next few years
• The invention was the product of an ongoing collaboration between Microsoft and University of Sydney

The device potentially opens the door…
