A 21-year-old student in Australia has caught the attention of quantum researchers at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Yale. Pablo Bonilla Ataides, a science undergraduate at the University of Sydney, tweaked some computing code in a way that effectively doubled its capacity to correct errors in quantum machines being designed in the emerging tech sector.
