A QuTech-led research team successfully created a three-site Kitaev chain in a hybrid InSb/Al nanowire that demonstrates enhanced stability of Majorana zero modes compared to two-site chains, marking significant progress toward scalable topological quantum computing.
Researchers theoretically demonstrate that Floquet Majorana fermions in periodically driven topological superconductors create 4π-periodic Josephson currents with amplitudes that can be tuned by aligning chemical potentials with drive frequency harmonics, yielding a novel “Josephson Floquet sum rule.”
Microsoft has demonstrated the world’s first topological qubit using Majorana Zero Modes in specially-engineered topoconductor materials, achieving measurement-based control through quantum dot interactions while securing DARPA support to build a fault-tolerant prototype that could scale to one million qubits and revolutionize scientific discovery.
Scientists have made a breakthrough in quantum computing by discovering how electrons can appear to split in half through quantum interference, potentially bringing us closer to creating topological quantum computers. This research, published in Physical […]
A new way to combine two materials with special electrical properties — a monolayer superconductor and a topological insulator — provides the best platform to date to explore an unusual form of superconductivity called topological superconductivity. The combination could provide the basis for topological quantum computers that are more stable than their traditional counterparts.
A study proposes iron-based superconducting thin films as a platform for magnetic field-controlled Majorana fermions, advancing topological quantum computing potential.
Researchers have used high-resolution microscopy tools to peer at the inner-workings of an unusual type of superconductor, uranium ditelluride (UTe2).
