Google claimed … Continue reading Google claims to demonstrate quantum supremacy →

The field of quantum computing took a major leap this week, thanks to researchers from the University of NSW (UNSW). The team of scientists developed a two-qubit gate between atom qubits in silicon. Two-qubit gates are the foundations of any quantum computer. This version is the fastest that’s ever been achieved in silicon, completing an … Continue reading Quantum research breaks through major boundary →

Sydney researchers have successfully reduced errors in semiconductor “spin qubits” – a type of building block for quantum computers. This has been achieved using the theoretical work of quantum physicists at the University of Sydney Nano Institute and School of Physics. The experimental result by University of New South Wales engineers demonstrated error rates as … Continue reading Sydney researchers drive advances in quantum computing →

Four NSW universities have joined forces to establish the Sydney Quantum Academy (SQA). The SQA allows students, academics and industry to collaborate on quantum research and help train the next generation of engineers and scientists in quantum computing. The Academy is the initiative of University of Technology Sydney (UTS), University of Sydney, University of NSW … Continue reading New academy increases quantum research in Sydney →

The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T) at UNSW Sydney opened its doors in mid-February. The CQC2T is an international collaboration between seven Australian universities and more than 25 partners to form one of the largest combined efforts in quantum computation and communication research in the world. … Continue reading National centre of excellence in quantum opens at UNSW →
