World's first complete design of a silicon quantum computer chip

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.

So what about the cooling requirements for the incredibly unstable nature of the qubit? Does this new architecture effect that in any way?

[yahtadi]

Doesnt your correcting code would hold back quantum real potential in solving problem?

[cornholio]

Do they have a stock you could buy now?

Isn't there a problem with interference from...literally any movement within 1/2 mile from the chip? Correct me if I'm misunderstanding something here. I'm not an expert, but as I understand this technology, the problem of someone doing so much as sneezing disrupts these fragile little quantum bits rendering the machine useless. Isn't that the reason the deepmind machines have to be operated at extremely low temperatures? I'm all for a functional improvement in the design of a quantum chip, but...what gives?

2018 is now and I havent even see it on the market

Isn't this simmilar to the "flip-flop" system proposed a while back ?

Let me get this straight. From original idea of one qubit giving unlimited amount of calculations and possible answers, you made a qubit that has to be corrected by other qubits so that it can be converted to simple 1 or 0. This is quasi quantum computing you are talking about. Why is this video available only to people with link. Can not be found by searching on YT?!

I would like to give a qubit the right dig he needs.

[zeustrump]

this looks like ion semiconductor sequencing? am I wrong? its how i learn.. from correcting my ideas from people who know better!

[rRobertSmith]

You dumbed this down way way too much, what about the single layer diamond mask with the nitrogen inclusions?

This reminds me of the tower of babal, once the people got to a certain point God confused them so they couldn't understand each other.

[shoti]

well it's not real quantum computing. Kinda simulation, but no one can assure results got this way will be similar like from real "fragile" qubits

[Rospajother]

So much investor propaganda mean while all the real horse power is done in the Grover equations and filters making sense of tossed dice, there will be an investor judgement day for all this snake oil

[BingDwenDwen]

Funny and typical that their Australian engineers are mostly asians.

[constantinezh]

Bahahaha. These lame actors reading off teleprompter, gesturing to appear smarter. Pathetic to watch. Just another way to get taxpayer's money.
