Japanese researchers have developed the world’s first superconducting flux qubit that functions in a zero magnetic field.

The experiment was conducted on a superconducting quantum processor of 16 flux-tunable transmission-line shunted plasma oscillation qubit (transmon) qubits arranged in a 4x4 grid. Each qubit had ...

Most approaches to quantum computers rely on local degrees of freedom to encode information. The spin of an electron is a classic example of a qubit. But an individual spin is prone to disturbance — ...

Microsoft set out years ago to develop a topological qubit using Majorana quasiparticles—small and inherently stable, they make perfect candidates for quantum computers. This week, Microsoft ...
