Australian quantum computing

We take a break from biology to bring you the Australian single-atom qubit.

By my understanding, the Australian effort to create a solid-state quantum computer (by doping a silicon chip with addressable phosphorus atoms), which is ten years old, had foundered in recent years; but the enterprise was saved and revived by Michelle Simmons. It's now her job to make sure the world isn't overrun by unfriendly Australian quantum AI. Good luck, Professor Simmons!
