Australian scientists believe they have taken a key step towards building a silicon quantum computer – a device that could finally take the technology into mainstream use. QuantumComputing

in January, shows silicon quantum computers can now be operated with better than 99 per cent accuracy.

Being 99 per cent-plus accurate seems a small achievement for a computer, but it’s a big deal in quantum because it is considered the threshold at which you could scale quantum processors into an actual computer, he says.Sydney Quantum Academy chief executive Professor Peter Turner, who was not involved in the research, says it’s “a worthy milestone, for sure.”

“This ensures that our quantum breakthrough is compatible with the broader semiconductor industry,” says Professor David Jamieson, who led that work at the University of Melbourne.Scientists talk of scaling up quantum manufacturing. But current machines are still hand-built. And making one that can do useful things remains a long way off.holds the title of world’s most powerful quantum computer. A useful machine will need “millions, or even billions of qubits”, says Professor Jamieson.
