Polls will open at 8am on Saturday, March 25 and close at 6pm the same day. Voting centres are hosted at schools, churches, town halls and more across the state.

Below are some of the voting centres available across Sydney from the east to the west but keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list.

In Sydney's CBD, some of the voting centres include:

In Sydney's east, you could vote at one of these centres but there are many more:

In Sydney's North Shore and Northern Beaches, these are just some of the available voting centres:

And in Sydney's west, here are some of the many voting centres:

You can find your electorate and the full list of voting centres - there are many - on the NSW Electoral Commission website here.

You would think in 2023 that every voting centre would have a democracy sausage available for the good voters of the state but this isn't the case.

But the people behind DemocracySausage.org have taken on the task to inform you where to snag a snag on Saturday.

The map, which is saturated with sausages across Sydney, shows you where you can pick up a snag, cake or drink on election day.

Just keep in mind the site is entirely crowd-sourced it's not an official resource, so take the information with a grain of salt.

You better get in quick because early voting closes tomorrow at 6pm.

There are sites across the state open now for voters to cast their ballot early but time is ticking.

Postal voting registrations have already closed so the only options now are to head into a polling centre before 6pm on Friday or join the masses on Saturday between 8am and 6pm.

A superconducting ink that can be printed onto surfaces in a single-molecule-thick layer could prove useful for the building of circuits for quantum computers. The tungsten disulfide ink is more stable than other superconducting inks and it is simpler to make, which bodes well for future applications.

Whena material is superconductive, electricity can pass through it with zero resistance, making it an extraordinarily efficient way to transmit energy. Superconductive materials also have special magnetic properties, but they tend to be difficult to make and they break down when exposed to air or to temperatures too far from absolute zero.

Xiaoyu Song and Leslie Schoop at Princeton University and their colleagues produced the tungsten disulfide ink using a process called chemical exfoliation. They started out with a material made of alternating layers of tungsten disulfide and potassium. Imagine that you have a crepe cake you have all these crepes stacked on top of each other and in between you have the cream filling. The tungsten disulfide is the crepe and the potassium is the filling, says Song. When the layered material is placed into diluted sulphuric acid, it is similar to dunking a crepe cake in water: the potassium dissolves away, and only the thin layers of tungsten disulfide remain.

When the acid and remnants of potassium were rinsed away, the researchers were left with thin layers of tungsten suspended in water. This solution could then be printed onto a glass, plastic or silicon substrate, forming a layer of tungsten disulfide justone molecule thick.

The printed pattern remained stable at ambient conditions, with no protective container or coating, for at least 30 days. When it was frozen to temperatures below 7.3 kelvin (-266C), even after being left in the open for a while, the ink became superconductive. You could carry it around or install it at room temperature, and then you just have to freeze it, says Schoop. Youd need liquid helium, though you couldnt do it in your home freezer, unfortunately.

This process is much simpler than those that have been used for other superconducting inks, which have required protective layers to keep them fromdegradingover time. That could make it easier to produce this ink industrially, although its temperature requirement blocks off some potential applications. It could still be practical in things that are already cooled down, like in quantum computers or MRI machines where you already cool down your systems a lot, says Schoop. In the future, the researchers hope that this method could be used to create inks that aresuperconductiveat higher temperatures.

Scope of the Report of Quantum ComputingQuantum computing, the area of study that focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory has explains the nature and behavior of energy & matter on the quantum (atomic and subatomic) level. A Quantum computer uses the laws of quantum physics through which it can gain huge power, have the ability to be in multiple states & perform tasks with use of all possible permutations instantaneously. Quantum computations use quantum bits (qubits), that can be in multiple states at the same time, quite different from digital computing's requirement that data be either in one state or another (0 or 1, for instance). Running a huge number of calculations in parallel opens a future where complex problems can be solved in less time on a quantum computer compared with a traditional digital device. Though quantum computing has great potential, the field is in its beginning. And it will take numerous generations of qubit increases for quantum computers to begin resolving the world's challenges. Increasing demand for quantum computing from many end use industries including defense, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, chemicals, banking & finance, energy & power for applications such as simulation, optimization, as well as sampling is likely to boost growth of the global quantum computing market.

Chattanooga's Gig City is seeking to take a quantum leap into the next generation of computer and communication technologies with a new education initiative to capitalize on EPB's new fiber-based Quantum network.

Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly announced a new initiative Thursday known as "Gig City Goes Quantum" for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Chattanooga State Community College to expand both their degree and non-degree training in quantum technologies to help prepare workers for the emerging new technology.

Quantum computing is already an industry generating more than $500 million a year in research and sales, and EPB's unique citywide fiber network will allow for the deployment of the first commercially available quantum network to test new uses and technologies using quantum physics and quantum-based systems in Chattanooga.

"The launch of EPB's Quantum Network last fall has positioned Chattanooga to lead in quantum information technology, but there's still a lot we need to do to prepare our city to thrive in a new quantum age," Kelly told a gathering of researchers and entrepreneurs in Chattanooga on Thursday.

Kelly said quantum technologies are part of the next major frontier in computer technology, cybersecurity and digital communications and will require new skills for workers to take advantage of Chattanooga's unique capabilities.

UTC Chancellor Steve Angle said the university has already allocated $1 million for quantum development and education, including the addition of one of the first quantum nodes in the Multidisciplinary Research Building on M.L. King Boulevard, which houses the SIM Center and other advanced computer networks.

"UTC students will have unique access to experiential learning by being able to use a real-world quantum network on our campus through the EPB Quantum Network," Angle said in an interview Thursday.

Angle said Chattanooga's Quantum Network has already helped to recruit top faculty to the university and he hopes to apply quantum technologies across engineering, computer science, business and even the arts programs at the university.

At Chattanooga State, computer networking and programming programs will add quantum technology instruction as it evolves to help prepare workers for what local officials hope will be a growing ecosystem of quantum businesses and talent.

"We need ambitious workforce development strategies to prepare the range of talent who will fill tomorrow's quantum jobs, from physicists who will design systems to the technical professionals who will maintain and repair them," Chattanooga State President Rebecca Ashford said during Thursday's event at the Gilman Lofts.

The new initiative, which has created its own website -- gigcitygoesquantum.com -- will offer educational resources for students in 5th grade through post-college graduate programs. The initiative will be kicked off on World Quantum Day on April 14 with a variety of demonstrations at Chattanooga State and Tyner Academy.

Kelly announced the initiative during a plenary meeting Thursday of the 4-year-old Quantum Economic Development Consortium, which is meeting in Chattanooga to see EPB's new network.

EPB, the public utility that built the fastest citywide internet service in the Western Hemisphere using its fiber optic network, has deployed those same fiber links to pioneer a new quantum network that could be the backbone for the next generation of the internet.

EPB and a San Diego-based research firm known as Qubitekk have been working over the past seven years on a quantum cybersecurity network for the protection of the U.S. electric grid and are now expanding the quantum network and opening it to other users in the first-of-its-kind, community-wide service.

The EPB Quantum Network is designed to generate, distribute and measure qubits across an established fiber optic network connecting businesses, entrepreneurs, researchers, government and universities to the quantum future.

EPB's fiber optic network was originally developed in 2010 to help build a smarter electricity grid to improve power reliability, but the same fiber lines are used to build one of the world's fastest internet networks across EPB's 600-square-mile service territory.

Kelly said EPB's fiber network helped Chattanooga become the first city to offer universal gigabyte-per-second internet speeds across the entire city a decade ago, creating Chattanooga's moniker as "Gig City." EPB has since increased its citywide internet speed potential to at least 10 gigs throughout its service territory and up to 25 gigs in selected areas for consumers who want to buy such a premium service.

A UTC study estimates that EPB's gig service has helped spur nearly $2.7 billion in additional economic development and added more than 9,500 jobs. Kelly said "the sky is the limit" on the potential economic payoff for Chattanooga from quantum technologies and the new EPB Quantum Network.

Dunan Earl, the co-founder of Qubitekk that helped EPB develop its Quantum Network as an outgrowth of a Department of Energy study on cybersecurity, said quantum technologies "hold the promise for revolutionary, groundbreaking possibilities that change how we all live and work.

"That is why it's so important to prepare students for the industry's future," he said.

Ashford said she was particularly proud that Qubitekk has already hired a Chattanooga State graduate and is looking for additional talent as the Quantum Network is built out in Chattanooga.

The Company Lab is also promoting new quantum technologies with its next accelerator program for entrepreneurs focused on sustainable mobility and the use of Chattanooga's smart city technologies. The accelerator is seeking business applicants and will kick off later this year.

"The commercialization of quantum technology is a major national priority to advance American ingenuity and security," U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Ooltewah, said in a statement Thursday.

Fleischmann said research at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory on quantum technologies should help advance new uses and commercial deployment in the region.
