Australian researchers make quantum computing breakthrough.

Australian researchers are claiming that they have figured out how to make quantum logic gates in silicon chips. It is believes that this could pave the way to mass manufacturing of quantum processors and making quantum computing viable. 
 
Quoted from The Sydney Morning Herald:
 
"For decades scientists have been trying to turn quantum computing — which allows for multiple calculations to happen at once, making it immeasurably faster than standard computing — into a practical reality rather than a moonshot theory. Until now, they have largely relied on "exotic" materials to construct quantum computers, making them unsuitable for commercial production.

But researchers at the University of New South Wales have patented a new design, published in the scientific journal Nature on Tuesday, created specifically with computer industry manufacturing standards in mind and using affordable silicon, which is found in regular computer chips like those we use every day in smartphones or tablets.

"Our team at UNSW has just cleared a major hurdle to making quantum computing a reality," the director of the university's Australian National Fabrication Facility, Andrew Dzurak, the project's leader, said."

Hopefully this is something we can commercialize and boost our dying economy.

Hopefully we can capitalize on this and start a new CPU company in Australia that uses this new method.

We will call it "Straya Chips."

A mod could, lets ask @ixi_your_face to move it.

Wow. Australia beat Canada.

 

Good goin', guys :D

Don't forget we also beat the US-they are the ones who normally by technology from us (eg. Metal Storm: 

).

We'll probably have to anyways - all the sockets will be mounted upside down otherwise

This is actually pretty amazing, but I find it so hard to believe. I just cant accept this, it cant be.

Why do you always die right after I fix you?

Yeah we never even got Graphene processors!?  There is a process here people, get in line!

I'd flesh out the post with quotes and get it moved to tech news, this doesn't belong here :P
