Why quantum computing at 1 degree above absolute zero is such a big deal
Operating at even marginally warmer temperatures means quantum computers could be much easier to operate — and much more widely available.
Andre Luiz Saraiva De Oliveira
Solid State Physicist, UNSW Sydney
I am a quantum theorist, specialized in solid state qubits. I have worked for 13 years providing theoretical solutions to problems in silicon spin quantum computation, as well as other quantum technologies. Currently, I supervise the quantum theory team providing support to the MOS Silicon Quantum Dot research, led by Prof. Andrew Dzurak in the Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technologies (CQC2T), at UNSW. My position is funded by Silicon Quantum Computing Pty. Ltd. (SQC), the company created within UNSW to develop commercial quantum computing technologies in silicon. I was formerly an Associate Professor of Physics in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, which is Brazil's leading research-oriented University.
