From the article:
A scientist at the University of Sydney has achieved what one quantum industry insider has described as "something that many researchers thought was impossible."

Dr. Benjamin Brown from the School of Physics has developed a type of error-correcting code for quantum computers that will free up more hardware to do useful calculations. It also provides an approach that will allow companies like Google and IBM to design better quantum microchips.
