Quantum computing advance: Atom-placed silicon lattice hits 15,000 quantum dots, reveals metal-insulator transition

Silicon Quantum Computing has built what is, in effect, a designer material you can dial like an instrument. Using scanning tunneling microscope lithography, the Sydney-based company patterned a two-dimensional lattice of roughly 15,000 atom-based quantum dots in silicon, arranged on a 100×150 grid. Results published in Nature show controlled simulation of quantum physics across arrays… The post Quantum computing advance: Atom-placed silicon lat…
