The newly developed device allows two quantum bits -or qubits-to communicate and perform calculations together,
which is a crucial requirement for quantum computers. Even better, the researchers have worked also out how to scale the technology up to millions of qubits
which means they now have the ability to build the world's first quantum processor chip and, eventually, the first silicon-based quantum computer.
Right now, regular computer chips store information as binary bits, which are either in a 0 or 1 state.
This system works well, but it means that there's a finite amount of data that can be processed.
Qubits, on the other hand, can be in the state of 0, 1, or both at the same time, which gives quantum computers unprecedented processing power...
if we can work out how to build them. Scientists are getting pretty good at controlling these qubits,
but what they've struggled with is getting them to communicate with each other and perform operations.
in order to create a silicon-based quantum computer.""Because we use essentially the same device technology as existing computer chips,
"This makes the building of a quantum computer much more feasible, since it is based on the same manufacturing technology as today computer industry."
in order to get two qubits to'talk'to each other, they have to be incredibly close together-generally within 20 to 40 nanometres of each other
Quantum bits, on the other hand are defined by the spin of a single electron. But by reconfiguring traditional transistors to only be associated with one electron,
Dzurak and his team were able to have them define qubits instead. ee morphed those silicon transistors into quantum bits by ensuring that each has only one electron associated with it.
We then store the binary code of 0 or 1 on the'spin'of the electron,
which is associated with the electron tiny magnetic field, said Menno Veldhorst, the lead author of the research,
The team then showed that they could use metal electrodes on these transistors to control the qubits

#Electrical control of quantum bits in silicon paves the way to large quantum computers Lead researcher, UNSW Associate professor Andrea Morello from the School of Electrical engineering and Telecommunications, said his team had realised successfully a new control method for future quantum computers.
The findings were published today in the open-access journal Science Advances. Unlike conventional computers that store data on transistors and hard drives, quantum computers encode data in the quantum states of microscopic objects called qubits.
The UNSW team, which is affiliated with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation & Communication Technology,
was first in the world to demonstrate single-atom spin qubits in silicon, reported in Nature in 2012 and 2013.
The team has improved already the control of these qubits to an accuracy of above 99%and established the world record for how long quantum information can be stored in the solid state,
as published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2014. It has demonstrated now a key step that had remained elusive since 1998."
"We demonstrated that a highly coherent qubit, like the spin of a single phosphorus atom in isotopically enriched silicon,
"Therefore, we can selectively choose which qubit to operate. It's a bit like selecting which radio station we tune to,
"The findings suggest that it would be possible to locally control individual qubits with electric fields in a large-scale quantum computer using only inexpensive voltage generators, rather than the expensive high-frequency microwave sources.
Moreover, this specific type of quantum bit can be manufactured using a similar technology to that employed for the production of everyday computers,
Key to the success of this electrical control method is the placement of the qubits inside a thin layer of specially purified silicon

#Paving the way for a faster quantum computer Since its conception, quantum mechanics has defied our natural way of thinking,
One of the most exciting and most difficult proposed quantum technologies is the quantum computer. Quantum logic gates are the basic building blocks of a quantum computer,
but constructing enough of them to perform a useful computation is difficult. In the usual approach to quantum computing, quantum gates are applied in a specific order, one gate before another.
But it was realized recently that quantum mechanics permits one to"superimpose quantum gates.""If engineered correctly, this means that a set of quantum gates can act in all possible orders at the same time.
Surprisingly, this effect can be used to reduce the total number of gates required for certain quantum computations.
All orders at once A team led by Philip Walther recently realized that superimposing the order of quantum gates, an idea
"In fact, we were able to run a quantum algorithm to characterize the gates more efficiently than any previously known algorithm,
it was used to successfully demonstrate a new kind of quantum computing. The scientists were able to accomplish a computation with an efficiency that cannot be achieved within the old scheme of quantum computing.
This work opens a door for future studies on novel types of quantum computation. Although its full implications are still unknown,
