New 'gold-plated' superconductor could be the foundation for massively scaled-up quantum computers in the future New superconducting material could pave the way for the next stage in quantum computing by behaving as qubits in a more powerful system, scientists have proposed. In a research paper published Aug. 23 in Science Advances, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, combined trigonal tellurium — a non-magnetic material and a type of chiral material (made of molecules that lack mirror-image symmetry) — with a thin film of gold. https://lnkd.in/ejkBiC2C

A University of Michigan research team developed a new way to induce and stabilize an exotic quantum phenomena called a charge density wave at room temperature. The researchers grew a 2D layer of tantalum disulfide (TaS2) inside of another matrix. The electrons of the sandwiched 2D layer spontaneously clumped together to form their own crystal, known as a charge crystal or a charge density wave—converting the material from a conductor to an insulator. This exotic quantum phenomena could be harnessed as a transistor in either classical or quantum computing, acting as a gate to control voltage flow. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/49S6OqM

In a research paper published Aug. 23 in Science Advances, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, combined trigonal tellurium — a non-magnetic material and a type of chiral material (made of molecules that lack mirror-image symmetry) — with a thin film of gold. They observed that the quantum states at the interface contained well-defined polarization (the quantum state of a subatomic molecule). This could allow the excitations of electrons to be potentially used as quantum bits (qubits) in a quantum computer. The surface of the gold film became superconducting through the "proximity effect." This effect can occur when a non-superconducting material is placed near a superconductor, which suppresses the critical temperature of the superconductor. Being a chiral material, which cannot mirror its molecular properties, trigonal tellurium's quantum properties cannot be superimposed on its physical mirror image.

This article discusses recent advancements in quantum superconductors, focusing on the behavior of Floquet Majorana fermions and their impact on quantum computing. The research reveals how these fermions influence the Josephson effect, allowing for more precise control of quantum states. This could improve quantum computing's stability and efficiency, addressing issues like quantum decoherence. By tuning the Josephson current with external energy, scientists gain new levels of control, potentially leading to fault-tolerant quantum computers. The study provides a roadmap for future research into quantum materials.

#Tech_Tuesday Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras with peers from University of Cologne discuss quantum antiferromagnets on 'geometrically frustrated lattices' that have long attracted interest in the formation of quantum disordered states and the possible emergence of quantum spin liquid (QSL) ground states. Quantum spin liquids (#QSL) are attracting a lot of interest because of their uniqueness and possible use in quantum computing and other quantum technologies. In this study, they have used the Heisenberg model - a theoretical model to understand the interactions between quantum spins in a magnetics material.

Welcome to #ReelResearch 🎥 ! Did you know you can peel off an electronically active layer of atoms from the tip of your pencil? ✏️ Associate professor of physics Shawna Hollen leads research in 2D materials. By extracting a layer of carbon atoms from a material like graphite (✏️), you’re left with a single layer of atoms that are still electronically active (graphene ⚛️). This is a new material class that might be able to make qubits (or those shiny sphere looking things). Soo.. why’s this important? Quantum computing uses qubits to encode data that can solve complex problems that no classical computer can. Some quantum computing applications you may be familiar with include: Artificial intelligence 🤖 Drug development 💊 Electronic materials discovery ⚡️ Solar capture ☀️ The problem with qubits is they are susceptible to noise, such as thermal fluctuations 🔥 or interactions with the environment, which disrupts its ability to compute. Hollen’s research aims to create qubits that are more reliable and noise resistant, which in turn will make for more reliable quantum computers. #unhceps #unh #unhresearch

A discovery by Rice University physicists is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions in cutting-edge materials. Led by Zheng Ren and Ming Yi, the research team’s study on iron-tin (FeSn) thin films reshapes scientific understanding of kagome magnets — materials named after an ancient basket-weaving pattern and structured in a unique, latticelike design that can create unusual magnetic and electronic behaviors due to the quantum destructive interference of the electronic wave function. With this new perspective on magnetism, the research team’s work could guide the development of materials with tailored properties for advanced tech applications such as quantum computing and superconductors.
