World's first complete design of a silicon quantum computer chip
15 Dec 2017
UNSW engineers have reimagined the modern semiconductor to create the world’s first complete design for quantum computer chip using mostly standard industry components.
A reimagining of a modern computer chip by Australian engineers shows how a quantum computer can be manufactured – using mostly standard silicon components.
It’s long been the holy grail, but a devilish difficult ambition to even contemplate: how to integrate quantum interactions into a working computer design. Now UNSW engineers believe they have cracked the problem, reimagining the modern semiconductor to create the world’s first complete design for quantum computer chip – and using mostly standard industry components.
