Sydney student helps solve quantum computing problem with simple modification

 Sydney university student Pablo Bonilla, 21, had his first academic paper published overnight and it might just change the shape of computing forever.


Key points:

Pablo Bonilla's code has caught the interest of researchers at US universities and tech giant Amazon

The code is a small modification to one that has been studied for 20 years

Mr Bonilla completed HSC-level maths at age 15 and was invited to work on a University of Sydney project

As a second-year physics student at the University of Sydney, Mr Bonilla was given some coding exercises as extra homework and what he returned with has helped to solve one of the most common problems in quantum computing.
