Researchers from the University of New South Wales have figured out how to use standard semiconductors common to modern processors to perform quantum calculations. Basically, the power of quantum computing can now be unlocked using the same kinds of technology that forms the foundation of desktop computers and smartphones.
This technology is the first attempt to put all of the conventional silicon circuitry needed to control and read the millions of qubits needed for quantum computing onto one chip. In simple terms, conventional silicon transistors are used to control a flat grid of qubits in much the same way logic gates manage bits inside your desktop's processors.
