A group led by Australian of the Year, Professor Michelle Simmons, has overcome another critical technical hurdle for building a silicon-based quantum computer.
New research reveals 'entanglement' of the motion of objects composed of many billions of atoms, opening up further development of potential massive quantum machines.
Research breakthroughs in quantum computing and climate science have helped make UNSW one of the top three institutions in the country for high-quality science research publications, the latest Nature Publishing Index shows.
Two research teams working in the same UNSW laboratories have created quantum bits that offer parallel pathways for building quantum computers in silicon.
Three of this year's Federation Fellowships for scientific research have been awarded to UNSW researchers. UNSW placed equal first in the number of new Fellowships announced and equal second in the total number of Fellowships announced.
