Ideas@theHouse is an initiative of Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC, Governor of NSW and Patron of the Royal Society of NSW, to host public events at Government House that highlight important and influential ideas. In this lecture, the fifth in the Ideas@theHouse series presented by the Governor in partnership with the Royal Society of NSW, Professor Michelle Simmons AO FRS DistFRSN FAA FTSE, Scientia Professor at UNSW Sydney, Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology, and Director of the startup company Silicon Quantum Computing will present a lecture titled "Manufacturing at the Atomic Scale", following the recent announcement of their breakthrough development of the world's first quantum computer integrated circuit. The presentation will be followed by a reception hosted by the Governor of NSW.

Summary: To follow.
Michelle Simmons has pioneered unique technologies to build electronic devices at the atomic scale, pushing the boundaries of global research in classical computing, and opening up the prospect of developing a silicon-based quantum computer: a powerful new form of computing with the potential to transform information processing. Her achievements include the development of the world's smallest transistor, the narrowest conducting wires, 3D atomic electronics, and the first two-qubit gate using atom-based qubits in silicon. Most recently, in June 2022, the startup company SQC, of which she is the founder and director, announced the world's first integrated circuit at the atomic scale, comprising 10 quantum dots, that created a quantum integrated circuit capable of simulating molecular behaviour.
