#New records set for silicon quantum computingtwo research teams working in the same laboratories at UNSW Australia have found distinct solutions to a critical challenge that has held back the realisation of super powerful quantum computers.

The teams created two types of quantum bits or qubits--the building blocks for quantum computers--that each process quantum data with an accuracy above 99%.

For quantum computing to become a reality we need to operate the bits with very low error rates says Scientia Professor Andrew Dzurak who is Director of the Australian National Fabrication Facility at UNSW where the devices were made.

We've now come up with two parallel pathways for building a quantum computer in silicon each

Large quantum computers are expected to consist of many thousands or millions of qubits and may integrate both natural and artificial atoms.
