#Crucial hurdle overcome in quantum computing The significant advance, by a team at the University of New south wales (UNSW) in Sydney appears in the international journal Nature."
"We've demonstrated a two-qubit logic gate--the central building block of a quantum computer--and, significantly, done it in silicon.

A qubit operation exploits this quantum weirdness by allowing many computations to be performed in parallel (a two-qubit system performs the operation on 4 values, a three-qubit system on 8, and so on."
"If quantum computers are to become a reality, the ability to conduct one-and two-qubit calculations are said essential
Dzurak, who jointly led the team in 2012 who demonstrated the first ever silicon qubit,
also reported in Nature. Until now, it had not been possible to make two quantum bits'talk'to each other
--and thereby create a logic gate--using silicon. But the UNSW team--working with Professor Kohei M. Itoh of Japan's Keio University--has done just that for the first time.
The result means that all of the physical building blocks for a silicon-based quantum computer have now been constructed successfully

and turned them into qubits.""The silicon chip in your smartphone or tablet already has around one billion transistors on it,
"We've morphed those silicon transistors into quantum bits by ensuring that each has only one electron associated with it.

#Google Launches Effort to Build Its Own Quantum computer Google is about to begin designing and building hardware for a quantum computer a type of machine that can exploit quantum physics to solve problems that would take a conventional computer
which claims to make the first commercial quantum computer. And last year Google purchased one of D-Wave s machines.
Martinis has spent more than a decade working on a more proven approach to quantum computing and built some of the largest most error-free systems of qubits the basic building blocks that encode information in a quantum computer.
We would like to rethink the design and make the qubits in a different way says Martinis of his effort to improve on D-Wave s hardware.
We think there s an opportunity in the way we build our qubits to improve the machine.
Martinis has taken a joint position with Google and UCSB that will allow him to continue his own research at the university.
That s because qubits working together can use the quirks of quantum mechanics to quickly discard incorrect paths to a solution
However qubits are tricky to operate because quantum states are so delicate. Chris Monroe a professor who leads a quantum computing lab at the University of Maryland welcomed the news that one of the leading lights in the field was going to work on the question of
whether designs like D-Wave s can be useful. I think this is a great development to have legitimate researchers give it a try he says.
and Jeff Bezos Bet on Quantum computing). There is no question that D-Wave s machine can perform calculations.
And research published in 2011 showed that the machine s chip harbors the right kind of quantum physics needed for quantum computing.
But evidence is lacking that it uses that physics in the way needed to unlock the huge speedups promised by a quantum computer.
Martinis s previous work has been focused on the conventional approach to quantum computing. He set a new milestone in the field this April
when his lab announced that it could operate five qubits together with relatively low error rates.
Larger systems of such qubits could be configured to run just about any kind of algorithm depending on the problem at hand much like a conventional computer.
To be useful a quantum computer would probably need to be built with tens of thousands of qubits or more.
The chip at the heart of D-Wave s latest machine has 512 qubits but they are wired into a different more limited component known as a quantum annealer.
Martinis thinks his technology for fabricating qubits could make better quantum annealers. Specifically he hopes to make one
whose qubits can more stably maintain a quantum state known as a superposition effectively both 0 and 1 at the same time.
The qubits of D-Wave s machine can maintain superpositions for periods lasting only nanoseconds.
Martinis has built qubits that can do that for as long as 30 microseconds he says. Martinis makes his qubits from aluminum circuits built on sapphire wafers
and chills them to 20 millikelvin a fraction above absolute zero so that they become superconducting. D-Wave s chip requires similar cooling to operate
Martinis is in the process of switching to making his own qubits on silicon and believes certain electrical insulator materials used in D-Wave s chips may be limiting its performance.
and that Google S d-Wave computer will be upgraded with a new 1000 qubit processor when it becomes available e

A quantum computer should be able to complete calculations that are effectively impossible for any conventional machine today.
Although the Canadian company D-Wave Systems has sold several machines it says are quantum computers experts say there is still no definitive proof that they exploit quantum principles
and Jeff Bezos Bet on Quantum computing. Microsoft is not currently attempting to build a quantum computer. Rather, its research effort is aimed at developing a reliable version of the qubit, the key building block of a quantum computer.
Just like a transistor in a conventional computer, a qubit can switch between states that represent either a 1 or 0 of digital data.
But a qubit can also exploit quantum effects to reach a uperposition statethat is both 1 and 0 at the same time.
That would allow a quantum computer to process data many times faster than any conventional computer.
Researchers have built qubits of different designs and even used small numbers of them together for very basic calculations.
But none are able to maintain a superposition state very reliably, making them impractical for anyone hoping to build a computer of any size. e believe that current approaches will said never scale
Lee. Microsoft research focuses on a type of qubit known as a topological qubit that theory suggests would encode data in a much more robust way.
