Repurposing Qubit Tech to Explore Exotic Superconductivity
November 19, 2024
The established knowledge and technical infrastructure from decades of quantum research are allowing researchers to harness quantum technologies in unexpected, innovative ways and creating new research opportunities. In a paper published in the journal Nature Physics, a collaboration between theorists at JQI and experimentalists at Harvard University presented a technique that repurposes the technology of superconducting circuits to study samples with exotic forms of superconductivity. The collaboration demonstrated that by building samples of interest into a superconducting circuit they could spy on exotic superconducting behaviors that have eluded existing measurement techniques.
New Design Packs Two Qubits into One Superconducting Junction
October 21, 2024
Quantum computers are the basis of a growing industry. However, their technology isn’t standardized yet, and researchers are still studying the physics that goes into quantum devices. Even the most basic building blocks of a quantum computer—qubits—are still an active research topic. In an article in the journal Physical Review A, JQI researchers proposed a way to use the physics of superconducting junctions to let each function as more than one qubit.
