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