CMOS-based circuits can be integrated with silicon-based spin qubits and can be controlled at milli-kelvin temperatures, which can potentially help scale up these systems.

The salaries were large enough “to buy a house in Sydney without a mortgage”. But these quantum scientists had other ideas.

Professor David Reilly and Dr Thomas Ohki have launched Emergence Quantum, a spinout from the University of Sydney, building on their work at Microsoft Quantum, they are delivering a new type of comme...
