Stephan Sullivan An artist’s representation shows the researchers’ quantum functional groups (bright colored spheres) linked to larger molecules. Main takeaways: Stronger, faster. Quantum computers promise far greater speed and processing power than today’s most advanced supercomputers Quantum quantum. As these next-generation computers relied on the interaction of fragile atomic and subatomic particles, increasing their processing power proved to be a challenge. A chemical solution. Researchers have created a new molecule that has the potential to protect quantum interactions on a larger scale without the need for traditional electrical engineering tools and machines. Quantum computing, although still in its infancy, has the potential to dramatically increase processing power by exploiting the odd behavior of particles at the smallest scales. Several research groups have reported performing calculations that would take thousands of years for traditional supercompu...

Melbourne-based research has led to the creation of a self-calibrated photonic chip. Research led by Monash University and RMIT in Melbourne has found a way to replace bulky 3D optics with silicon chips. “We have demonstrated a self-calibrating self-programmable photonic filter chip featuring a signal processing core and an integrated reference path for self-calibration,” explains Monash University’s ARC-winning lead researcher Professor Arthur Lowery. “Self-calibration is very important because it makes tunable photonic integrated circuits useful in the real world; applications include optical communication systems that redirect signals to destinations based on their color, very fast similarity calculations (correlators), scientific instrumentation for chemical or biological analysis, and even astronomy. “Electronics saw a similar improvement in radio filter stability using digital techniques, which led to many phones being able to share the same slice of ...
