PsiQuantum, the company building the world’s first utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane, has just announced a significant scientific milestone: Omega – a manufacturable chipset that will take quantum computing out of the lab and into the real world.
The chipset contains all the advanced components required to build the quantum computer planned for Brisbane.
The Omega chipset is featured in a paper published today in Nature.
The Nature paper is extremely significant for Australia in particular, having invested heavily in PsiQuantum’s photonic approach, the roots of which stem from research at Australian universities.
Geoff Pryde, PsiQuantum Australia’s Chief Technical Director, is available for interview today about why this represents such a big moment for quantum computing – and for Australia.
Geoff can talk about:
-
What today’s announcement means for Australia’s effort to build the world’s first useful quantum computer in Brisbane
-
How the Omega chipset, designed by PsiQuantum and manufactured by GlobalFoundries, contains all of the advanced components required to build the utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane
-
His experience researching photonics with PsiQuantum co-founder Jeremy O’Brien at the University of Queensland in the early 2000s and how this created a pathway to today’s announcement
-
Why PsiQuantum’s announcement today is different from other recent quantum computing announcements
