Australian made quantum processors have been switched on at a US facility that houses some of the world’s fastest super computers as part of a landmark hybrid computing research effort.

Overnight, the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced the deployment, which uses Australian startup Quantum Brilliance’s small diamond-based quantum processors.
