Microsoft has a new quantum computer chip. Could it change the world?

Wednesday Headlines: Labor pushes Peter Dutton on allegations of insider trading, ABC says it’s spent $1.1 million on Antoinette Lattouf’s unfair dismissal case and AI videos of Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet have been played by hackers at federal department in the US.

Deep Dive: Have we just witnessed one of the biggest technological achievements in our lifetime?

Microsoft has revealed a new quantum computer chip – and an Australian team has been pivotal in its creation. But what’s behind a quantum chip, how much work goes into making one and when could we see these computers come to life?

Professor David Reilly is a University of Sydney quantum physicist who has worked for Microsoft on the development of this quantum computer chip and is now leading the charge here in Australia.

He joins Helen Smith on this episode of The Briefing to explain how it works, and what it means to him to have worked on the development.
