Quantum computing breakthrough to speed up roll out by decades
Britain s Quantum Motion says it has found a way to hack existing manufacturing processes to produce quantum computers
A British start-up has made a manufacturing breakthrough that could speed up quantum computing by decades .
Quantum Motion, a company founded by academics from UCL and Oxford University, says it has found a way to use commercially available silicon chips to build quantum computers, a discovery that could shave years off their development and dramatically lower their price.
Quantum computers promise a drastic leap forward in computing. While current computers store information in bits , which have a value of either one or zero, quantum computers use qubits which can be both one and zero at the same time.

The origin of dangerous solar storms have been discovered by scientists in a breakthrough which could help forecast devastating eruptions from the Sun.
The events occur when the Sun shoots out super-heated radioactive material which causes geomagnetic storms.
These huge solar flares could knock out communications on Earth, disrupt satellites and shut down power grids.

CT scans could detect up to 70 per cent of lung cancers in the early stages, an NHS study has found, potentially saving thousands of lives.
Initial findings from the Summit study, currently underway at University College London Hospital NHS trust (UCLH), has suggested lung cancer could eventually become a condition which is detected early.
