Researchers from the University of Queensland have taken a significant step in the quest to build a quantum computer, creating a light-based quantum circuit capable of basic calculations and moving quantum computing closer to a becoming a reality.
Australian scientists from the Centre of Quantum Computing Technology, have pushed the boundaries of atomic scale fabrication by building a wire only three atoms thick, opening the possibility of new chip architectures.
Australian researchers have taken another step towards quantum computers -- computers which use sub-atomic particles to minimise transistors' size and maximise computing power.
A Google scientist will join a controversial demonstration of a claimed quantum computer on Monday but scientists doubt the validity of the system being shown.
In a true sci-fi moment, two teams of scientists stop and trap light - a feat that could lead to major advances in quantum computing.
Post-election adrenaline surging through his veins, one of the first acts performed by new Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was to disband the expert panel that his predecessor Helen Coonan had appointed last June to evaluate tenders for fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) construction.
Discover the future of computing beyond Moore's Law. Will we have to change our entire approach to software and hardware design?
Carbon. Is there nothing it can't do? As well as being the fundamental element behind life, the premium component in energy storage and the top contender for executioner of the human race, it's now beginning to fill in the forms for consideration as inheritor to silicon's electronic crown.
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
Scientists at Northwestern University say they have harnessed the properties of light to encrypt information into code that can be cracked only one way: by breaking the physical laws of nature.
As interest in nanotechnology peaks, scientists are claiming a significant breakthrough with the ability to make atoms move one by one.
Canadian scientists say they have invented a spintronic transistor, which uses the spin of electrons to store information. It could mark an important step in quantum computing.
Discover the future of computing beyond Moore's Law. Will we have to change our entire approach to software and hardware design?
It's not Star Trek, but quantum computing looks set to revolutionise the way we do computing.
As interest in nanotechnology peaks, scientists are claiming a significant breakthrough with the ability to make atoms move one by one.
Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits.
