Many experts believe that the future lies with quantum computers. They use the phenomena of quantum superposition and quantum entanglement for data transmission and processing and in terms of power significantly exceed all existing solutions. To date, the main problem of quantum computers is the process of their creation, namely the exact arrangement of atoms in quantum bits at close distances. Moreover, a completely working quantum computer is now a purely hypothetical device. It seems that a group of Australian researchers managed to find an effective solution to this problem.

Engineers of the Australian University of New South Wales have developed a new design of chips called "Flip-flop", allowing to create quantum computers using the same silicon technology that is used today.

Development revolves around qubits, which use both the electron and the nucleus of the atom. In this case, the direction of rotation of the electron determines the state of the qubit, from which the name "Flip-flop". These qubits can be monitored using electrical signals instead of magnetic. Moreover, they do not need to be placed as close as expected, or to make miniature reference lines. Researchers say companies like Google and IBM are trying to create superconducting circuits, but they may face problems when quantum chips will have millions of qubits.

Technology researchers at the University of New South Wales is still only a theory. Nevertheless, experts consider it quite promising and even opened the first company in Australia on quantum computing. If they succeed in translating their theory into practice, then in the future we will have relatively affordable and powerful quantum computers.
