QUANTUM COMPUTER
Pablo Bonilla, an Aussie uni student, has just made a huge discovery in the world of quantum computing. Unlike ordinary computer chips which use bits made up of a bunch of 1's and 0's. They act like tiny switches that can either be on (1) or off (0) simple! But Quantum computing uses something known as qubits and these switches can be on, off or anywhere in between at the same time. In theory, quantum computers are millions and even trillions times faster. And scientists want to use them to research things like artificial intelligence or create new medicines. The trouble is they are really, really hard to make. That's where Pablo comes in. Recently he was given some coding homework at uni. What he came back with was a whole new way of USING qubits. Pablo basically designed a code that helps computers correct their errors. It's got the quantum world very excited even tech giant, Amazon plans to use it. And hopefully soon Pablo's hard work will really pay off.
