Quantum computers are expected to transform many facets of science and industry over the next decade or so — but it’s very hard for most potential users to get their hands on one to find out what they can actually do with it. A new open-access facility opened in Queensland this week aims to change that.

The A$10.5 million National Quantum Computing Testbed is located at the University of Queensland and is a collaborative effort led by research teams from the university and CSIRO.

It will allow researchers from academia and industry to test new ideas on a real quantum processor in an affordable and fully open access environment. As such, it removes many of the barriers to innovation in this rapidly developing field.
