SINGAPORE: Researchers in Australia have found a new way to build quantum computers which they say would make them dramatically easier and cheaper to produce at scale.  

Quantum computers promise to harness the strange ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at a time to solve problems that are too complex or time-consuming for existing computers.
