Physics – Topological Superconductivity without Superconductors

• Physics 16, s53

Researchers propose a way to relieve the material requirements needed to realize topological quantum computers.

K. Mæland and A. Sudbø [1]

Today’s quantum computers are delicate devices—sensitive to disruption by environmental noise. Physicists are thus pursuing alternatives called topological quantum computers, which harness quasiparticles—Majorana fermions—predicted to be resilient to noise (see Viewpoint: A Roadmap for a Scalable Topological Quantum Computer). Now Kristian Mæland and Asle Sudbø…
