A multi-institutional team of scientists has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate 'topological superconductor.' A ...
As part of the Quantum Science Center headquartered at ORNL, Robert Moore probes the interface between a topological insulator and a superconductor with spin- and angle-resolved photoemission ...
Superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance at specific temperature ranges, have proved very promising for the development of quantum computers and other ...
In this video I use a type II superconductor to perform a quantum locking demonstration using YCBO (Yttrium barium copper oxide). I then explain in depth how superconductors and quantum locking (Flux ...
Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material's overall structure (i.e., "topology"), as opposed to microscopic details. These phases are of ...
A new superconductor material could greatly improve the reliability of quantum computers, scientists say. The electrical resistance of materials typically decreases as they are cooled. But some ...
Scientists may have spotted a long-sought triplet superconductor — a material that can transmit both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. That ability could dramatically stabilize ...
A superconductor made from germanium, a material commonly used to build computer chips, could one day create better and more reliable quantum computers. Superconductors are materials that conduct ...
Microsoft announced Wednesday that it has invented an entirely new kind of quantum computer. Its new quantum chip, Majorana 1, is a quantum processor analogous to transistors in classical computers’ ...
