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.
