You might not know it, but Australia is an unexpected frontrunner in the race to build a quantum computer.
Despite our isolation, leading quantum experts have called Australia home for decades, chipping away at this massive challenge.
What have we learnt, from our first digital computer CSIRAC, to now? And will it all culminate in the world's first million-qubit computer?
