Professor Michelle Yvonne Simmons' research at the University of NSW's Quantum Physics Department could usher in a new era in computing.
She aims to build a quantum computer, powerful enough to solve problems in minutes which would otherwise take thousands of years.
Quantum physics professor named NSW Australian of the Year
