Australian scientists develop quantum programming language,

[killcomic]

Australian researchers at the University Of New South Wales have announce a new breakthrough that could bring viable quantum computing closer to reality, they have developed a quantum programming language that can take advantage of the quantum effect in quantum chips.

 

Professor Andrea Morello, project leader, told The Sydney Morning Herald, "The advancement proves that we can write the most unique type of computer code that a quantum computer can support,"

"In other words, we have now shown that we can access the full 'quantum vocabulary'

 

He further stated, "Things become more interesting when you have two quantum bits, like in the case of our experiment: there you can write '00', '01', '10','11' [like in an ordinary computer], but also combinations of them, like '00 + 11', '01 + 10', and so on," Morello says.

 

It's not all good news however. Professor Andrew Greentree of RMIT University told Fairfax Media that this is by no means a silver bullet, "They've looked at entanglement between two spins on the same atom: one the spin of phosphorus nucleus, and the other the spin of a lone electron attached to the atom," he said. "This is not scalable, because the phosphorus really doesn't have any more spins. What they need is to entangle one phosphorus with the next phosphorus atom,"

 

Regardless, this is still viewed as an important step to bring quantum computing closer to reality.

Just read this on reddit, only really because of Professor Morello.

Right. I did some work with it. Is it better now?

Cool stuff

They only tell you what you did wrong; not how to fix it

good luck

Oh well, I guess I'll know if the thread is closed.

This is actually a very big deal.

One of the biggest obstacles to quantum computing was the user interface side, developing a consistent language is the first stop towards removing that obstacle.

Next will be Windows QE.
