• Australian quantum hardware company Silicon Quantum Computing has developed the world’s first integrated quantum computer circuit, including all components of a classical computer, with quantum-scaled transistors (the size of a single atom). This comes after nine years of research and two years ahead of its anticipated timeframe.

• The quantum circuit, which accommodates ten quantum dots made of phosphorus atoms, placed with sub-nanometer precision, was tested by modeling the multiple quantum states of a small polyacetylene molecule. The achievement was published in the scientific journal Nature.
