Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality: they discovered a new technique they say will be capable of controlling millions of spin qubits – the basic units of information in a silicon quantum processor. Published today in Science Advances, the … Continue reading ‘Missing jigsaw piece’: engineers make critical advance in quantum computer design

Professor Andrew Dzurak’s team has had new results opening the path to a quantum data bus for silicon CMOS quantum processor chips published in Nature Communications yesterday. These show that electron spin qubits can be transported between quantum dots while maintaining their spin polarisation (to 99.97%) and spin coherence (to 99.4%) information. The experiments were … Continue reading New paper in Nature Communications opens the pathway to a ‘Quantum Data Bus’

UNSW researcher Dr Udo Römer has been granted an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award for the project “Nervous tissue stimulation using multi-junction silicon photodiodes”. He will use the ANFF-NSF facilities for thin film depositions and microfabrication of devices.
