Abrikosov vortices help scientists explain inconsistencies in 'dirty' superconductors theory

International team of physicists explained anomalous low temperature behavior of 'dirty' superconductors. These materials possess various non-trivial properties which make them necessary for quantum computers with superconductive qubits. In a paper published in Nature Physics, scientists report how 'dirty' superconductors can violate the conventional theory of superconductivity. These results make it possible to engineer superconductive qubits that are perfectly isolated from the outer disturbances and thus can be fully used for quantum computing.
