Through the company Silicon Quantum Computing, this has been Australia's national quantum computing focus.
This can be used to detect the ionization of air by radiation , see e.g. youtu.be/CZ7DoLLwW04?t=76 from Video "Ions produced by radiation carry a current by Institute of Physics".
sqc.com.au/2024/02/08/silicon-quantum-computing-demonstrates-high-fidelity-initialisation-of-nuclear-spins-in-a-4-qubit-device/ points to one of their papers: www.nature.com/articles/s41565-023-01596-9 High-fidelity initialization and control of electron and nuclear spins in a four-qubit register
Their approach seems to be more precisely called: Kane quantum computer and uses phosphorus embedded in silicon.
They come from the University of New South Wales.

They have some amazingly long market analysis lists/tables there e.g.:
- quantum computing players: quantumcomputingreport.com/players/
- quantum computer parameters: quantumcomputingreport.com/qubit-count/. TODO I think this was open in the past, but as of 2024 it was paywalled.
Some of their resources are open, others closed.

Some cases:
- Marie Curie according to Video "Marie Curie section of The Mystery of Matter episode 2" at youtu.be/wbuDmY5gpXQ?t=2041 she specifically avoided more generic X-ray research, and went instead for radioactivity
For example, at docs.ourbigbook.com/news/article-and-topic-id-prefix-search article search was added, but it only finds if you search something that appears right at the start of a title, e.g. for:you'd get a hit for:but not for
Fundamental theorem of calculusfundamentalcalculusBut finding a clean way to generate test data for testing out the speedup was not so easy and exploration into this led me to publishing a few new slightly improved methods where Googlers can now find them:
- unix.stackexchange.com/questions/97160/is-there-something-like-a-lorem-ipsum-generator/787733#787733 I propose a neat random "sentence" generator using common CLI tools like
grepandsedand the pre-installed Ubuntu dictionary/usr/share/dict/american-english:grep -v "'" /usr/share/dict/american-english | shuf -r | paste -d ' ' $(printf "%4s" | sed 's/ /- /g') | sed -e 's/^\(.\)/\U\1/;s/$/./' | head -n10000000 \ > lorem.txt- to achieve that, I also proposed two superior "join every N lines" method for the CLI: stackoverflow.com/questions/25973140/joining-every-group-of-n-lines-into-one-with-bash/79257780#79257780, notably this awk poem:
seq 10 | awk '{ printf("%s%s", NR == 1 ? "" : NR % 3 == 1 ? "\n" : " ", $0 ) } END { printf("\n") }'

- stackoverflow.com/questions/3371503/sql-populate-table-with-random-data/79255281#79255281 I propose:
- a clean PostgreSQL random string stored procedure that picks random characters from an allowed character list
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION random_string(int) RETURNS TEXT as $$ select string_agg(substr(characters, (random() * length(characters) + 1)::integer, 1), '') as random_word from (values('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789- ')) as symbols(characters) join generate_series(1, $1) on 1 = 1 $$ language sql; - first generating PostgreSQL data as CSV, and then importing the CSV into PostgreSQL as a more flexible method. This can also be done in a streaming fashion from stdin which is neat.
python generate_data.py 10 | psql mydb -c '\copy "mytable" FROM STDIN'

- stackoverflow.com/questions/16020164/psqlexception-error-syntax-error-in-tsquery/79437030#79437030 regarding the safe generation of prefix search
tsqueryfrom user inputs without query errors, I've learned aboutwebsearch_to_tsqueryand further highlighted a possibletsquery -> text -> tsqueryapproach that might be correct for prefix searches - stackoverflow.com/questions/67438575/fulltext-search-using-sequelize-postgres/79439253#79439253 I put everything together into a minimal Sequelize example, read for usage in OurBigBook
Finally I did a writeup summarizing PostgreSQL full text search: Section "PostgreSQL full-text search" and also dumped it at: www.reddit.com/r/PostgreSQL/comments/12yld1o/is_it_worth_using_postgres_builtin_fulltext/ for good measure.
