[Cryptography] Atomic level precision applied to quantum computers

[Bill Frantz]

Interesting item on atomic level precision applied to quantum computers.

Perhaps the first and most important application in which 
atomically precise fabrication will make a critically important 
contribution is quantum computing. Back in 2012 we noted 
successes of Australian researchers in atomically-precise 
positioning of a single atom transistor and in writing of a 
single-atom qubit in silicon. Also in 2012 Foresight Update 
reported on a workshop sponsored by the Atomically Precise 
Manufacturing Consortium, NIST, and Zyvex Labs to discuss the 
fabrication of such atomically precise devices. Now Australian 
researchers have provided a blueprint for operational quantum 
computers. A hat tip to Nanotechnology-Now for reprinting this 
University of New South Wales news release written by Myles 
Gough “Researchers design architecture for a quantum computer 
in silicon“: ...
