Advancements in Superconductors Pave the Way for Quantum Computing

Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) have made a breakthrough in quantum computing by discovering a spatially modulating superconducting state in a new superconductor material called uranium ditelluride (UTe2). This new superconductor could potentially solve one of the biggest challenges in quantum computing. UTe2 is believed to be a relevant topological superconductor, which could lead to more stable and useful quantum computers. The discovery has significant implications for the future of quantum computing and has attracted the attention of Microsoft, which has already invested billions of dollars into topological quantum computing.
