The achievement in silicon - the basis of the computer chip - has important implications for integration with existing technology, according to a multi-national team of researchers.
The Scientists, from Britain, Japan, Canada and Germany, believe that super-fast quantum computers, based on quantum bits - or qubits - will be able to test many possible solutions to a problem at once.
Conventional computers based on binary 'switches', or bits, can only do one thing at a time.
Dr John Morton, of Oxford University, said: 'Creating ten billion entangled pairs in silicon with high fidelity is an important step forward for us.
'We now need to deal with the challenge of coupling these pairs together to build a scalable quantum computer in silicon.'"
