After two decades of work, 2018 Australian of the Year, Professor Michelle Simmons and her team of scientists at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, have reached a major milestone in their quest to build an atom-scale quantum computer.
They've created the fastest quantum operation yet, and it's 200 times speedier than ever before.
Their findings were published in renowned journal Nature on Wednesday.
The type of qubits Simmons' team discovered is a promising platform for large-scale quantum computers thanks to their long-lasting stability.
