00:00 Researchers from the University of Queensland have shrunk a critical quantum computing component.
00:07 It's incredible to have such a device being built in the lab and then being promoted to be a technology that will be adopted by industry.
00:20 Once the size of a matchbox, these tiny dots can now contain millions of quantum computing circuits.
00:28 We're now in a second quantum revolution where we're using all the features of quantum mechanics.
00:32 They're built inside this freezer that cools to 100 times colder than outer space, eliminating noise and vibrations.
00:40 Professor Tom Stace and Associate Professor Arkady Fedorov have used their development to set up a quantum computing hardware company.
00:49 We're the first company that's working internationally to commercialise the scientific research in circulators into a thing that can be used in future quantum computers.
01:01 These triangles are the components seen through a microscope.
01:05 It's one thing to be clever and do new physics and publish fabulous paper,
01:11 and another thing to actually get a gizmo going that will bring advances into technology and society.
01:18 society.
