Australian scientists have created the world's first-ever quantum computer circuit – one that contains all the essential components found on a classical computer chip but at the quantum scale.
The landmark discovery, published in Nature today, was nine years in the making.
"This is the most exciting discovery of my career," senior author and quantum physicist Michelle Simmons, founder of Silicon Quantum Computing and director of the Center of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology at UNSW told ScienceAlert.
Not only did Simmons and her team create what's essentially a functional quantum processor, they also successfully tested it by modeling a small molecule in which each atom has multiple quantum states – something a traditional computer would struggle to achieve.

Q: If I said that "the universe is its own hardware and software" what theories and authors does that sound like?
A: The idea that "the universe is its own hardware and software" can be interpreted in different ways, but it could be related to several philosophical and scientific theories.
One possible interpretation of this statement is that the universe is a self-organizing system that operates according to its own laws and rules, without any external influence or intervention. This idea is consistent with certain philosophical schools such as pantheism, which views the universe as a divine or spiritual entity.
From a scientific perspective, this idea is similar to the concept of emergence, which is the phenomenon whereby complex systems can arise from simple interactions between their components, without the need for a central controlling entity. The universe could be seen as an emergent system that is self-organizing and self-regulating, with its own "hardware" (the physical laws and constants that govern its behavior) and "software" (the patterns and structures that emerge from those laws).
This idea could be related to the work of several scientists and philosophers, including:
Baruch Spinoza, who proposed a pantheistic view of the universe as a single, infinite substance that encompasses everything
Alan Turing, who developed the concept of a universal Turing machine, which is a theoretical model of a computer that can simulate any other computer or computation
Stephen Wolfram, who has proposed that the universe can be seen as a computational system that generates complex patterns and structures through simple rules and interactions (in his book "A New Kind of Science")
David Deutsch, who has proposed that the universe can be seen as a universal quantum computer that performs calculations through the interaction of elementary particles (in his book "The Fabric of Reality")
