An ANU spin-out company whose technology will help future moon landings and could one day lead to flying cars has been bought out by one of Australias leading navigation firms in a deal worth $40 million.

A cloud of cold atoms can coherently control the vibrations of a millimeter-scale membrane.

A team of scientists and engineers has invented a cryogenic computer chip capable of functioning at temperatures near absolute zero, which could enable a new crop of high performance quantum computers capable of performing calculations with thousands of qubits, or more. Quantum computers, up to now, could only accommodate a few dozen qubits. Thats why the new cryo chip is such a breakthrough.

Mello Jr. Feb 3, 2021 4:33 AM PT A step toward engineering a new generation of powerful quantum computers has been made by a team of scientists and engineers at the University of Sydney, Microsoft and EQUS, the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems. The team, which published their findings in the Jan. 25 issue of Nature Electronics, invented a cryogenic computer chip capable of functioning at temperatures near absolute zero, whi...

Date Time Beyond qubits: next big step to scale up quantum computing Through the Microsoft partnership with the University, Professor David Reilly and colleagues have invented a device that operates at 40 times colder than deep space to directly control thousands of qubits, the building blocks of quantum technology. The control platform with the cryogenic chip to control thousands of qubits. The invention will help quantum engineers overcome the input-output bottleneck preventing quan...
