Yale researchers create a 'universal entangler' for new quantum tech

EurekAlert   -   Scientific News Websites

One of the key concepts in quantum physics is entanglement, in which two or more quantum systems become so inextricably linked that their collective state can't be determined by observing each element individually. Now Yale researchers have d...

'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 ...
