'Immunizing' quantum bits so that they can grow up: New material enhances supercurrent in topological-insulator nanoribbon Josephson junctions

ScienceDaily   -   General News Websites

Qubits need a better immune system before they can grow up. A new material, engineered into a thin strip, is one step closer to 'immunizing' qubits against noise, such as heat and other parts of a computer, that interferes with how well ...
