Two-Qubit calculations in Silicon tagged posts

The research, carried out by Professor Andrew Dzurak’s team in UNSW Engineering, was published in the journal Nature. The experiments were performed by Wister Huang, a final-year PhD student in Electrical Engineering, and Dr Henry Yang, a senior research fellow at UNSW.

“All quantum computations can be made up of one-qubit operations and two-qubit operations – they’re the central building blocks of quantum computing,” says Professor Dzurak.

“Once you’ve got those, you can perform any computation you want – but the accuracy of both operations needs to be very high.”

In 2015 Dzurak’s team was the first to build a quantum logic gate in silicon,...
