  A Huge Step Forward in Quantum Computing Was Just Announced: The First-Ever
                                Quantum Circuit

   ScienceAlert - 2 days ago

   Australian scientists have created the world's first-ever quantum
   computer circuit – one that contains all the essential components found
   on a classical computer chip but at the quantum scale.

   The landmark discovery, published in Nature today, was nine years in
   the making.

   "This is the most exciting discovery of my career," senior author and
   quantum physicist Michelle Simmons, founder of Silicon [2]Quantum
   Computing and director of the Center of Excellence for Quantum
   Computation and Communication Technology at UNSW told ScienceAlert.

   Not only did Simmons and her team create what's essentially a
   functional quantum processor, they also successfully tested it by
   modeling a small molecule in which each atom has multiple quantum
   states – something a traditional computer would struggle to achieve.

   This suggests we're now a step closer to finally using quantum
   processing power to understand more about the world around us, even at
   the tiniest scale.

   "In the 1950s, [3]Richard Feynman said we're never going to understand
   how the world works – how nature works – unless we can actually start
   to make it at the same scale," Simmons told ScienceAlert.

   "If we can start to understand materials at that level, we can design
   things that have never been made before.
