Breakthrough transistor could revolutionise Quantum computing
Kool for potentually dead or alive Katz
Boffins have emerged from their smoke-filled labs, claiming to have created a new type of transistor that can dissipate almost zero heat. This transistor promises to slash energy usage in future quantum computers by up to 1,000 times.
D-Wave creates Advantage2 Quantum Processor
25,000 times faster than predecessor
Quantum computing outfit D-Wage has been whipping its quantum cats into shape and lifted the kimono a new 4,400-plus-qubit quantum processing unit (QPU) named Advantage2.
Taiwan pushing quantum development
Government co-ordinating local industry

Aussies come up with new form of quantum computer
Who needs dead cats when you have a lot of sheep?
Aussie boffins, squatting in the outback, have come up with a new form of quantum computer which does not involve cats and will be dramatically easier and cheaper to produce.
D-Wave announces a faster “quantum computer”
Doubles the number of qubits without increasing the number of cats
D-Wave Systems, which claims to make the world’s first quantum computer, today announced details of its most advanced quantum computing system, featuring a new 2000-qubit processor and no extra potentually dead or alive cats.
