US achieves superconductor breakthrough, creates new material for quantum leap
In the field of quantum computing, future prospects are embraced when a team of scientists in the United States has achieved a notable milestone in the domain of superconductors. The research details the development of a novel superconductor material that has the potential to transform quantum computing and potentially function as a “topological superconductor.” A topological superconductor is a special kind of material that exhibits superconductivity (zero electrical resistance) and also has unique properties related to its shape or topology. The researchers were able to create high-quality low-loss microwave resonators, critical components of quantum computing. “A topological superconductor uses a delocalized state of an electron or hole (a hole behaves like an electron with positive charge) to carry quantum information and process data in a robust manner,”. Developing such strong quantum computers is very important as they exhibit a significant sensitivity to various forms of interf...
