    Researchers Spy Finish Line in Race for Majorana Qubits

    August 5, 2025

    In 2010, JQI researchers proposed a method to create Majorana quasiparticles, which have been suggested as a desirable way to make qubits. Since then, researchers have been steadily exploring their idea, but practical demonstrations have proven elusive. Recent results from researchers at Microsoft have made JQI Fellow Sankar Das Sarma and JQI Co-Director Jay Sau optimistic that Majorana qubits are finally in sight. In a new paper, they analyzed the current technology and proposed an experiment to demonstrate Majorana qubits.

  • Sheets made of an array of pink arrows alternate with sheets made of green arrows. A steady yellow wave passes through them with each sheet intercepting a peak of the wave.

    Time Crystal Research Enters a New Phase

    May 1, 2025

    JQI researchers identified a set of promising ingredients for making time crystals. With those ingredients in mind, they developed a new theoretical framework that they hope will put time crystals research on an equal footing with the study of traditional phases of matter.
