DESCRIPTION
Quantum computers that are capable of solving complex problems, like drug design or machine learning, will require millions of quantum bits -- or qubits -- connected in an integrated way and designed to correct errors that inevitably occur in fragile quantum systems. Now, an Australian research team has experimentally realized a crucial combination of these capabilities on a silicon chip, bringing the dream of a universal quantum computer closer to reality.
