A University of Sydney<\/strong> honours student\u2019s quantum computing code is attracting global attention and will be used by cloud giant AWS and in leading US universities\u2019 quantum programs.<\/p>\n Pablo Bonilla Ataides, a 21-year-old University of Sydney science undergraduate, made the breakthrough as part of a second year physics course which eventually led to a published study,<\/a> co-authored by university researchers.<\/p>\n By altering the code used for nearly two decades to correct errors in quantum computing, Mr Bonilla was able to significantly reduce the resources needed to detect and correct errors, effectively doubling the capacity to identify and fix these errors in quantum programs.<\/p>\n
