Four research groups have discovered that pair density waves, which involve a periodic modulation of electron density, are more prevalent than previously thought in high-temperature superconductors. This finding is significant for understanding and harnessing the properties of superconductors for practical applications such as energy transmission and electronics.
Scientists at the Macroscopic Quantum Matter Group laboratory in University College Cork have discovered a spatially modulating superconducting state in a new superconductor called uranium ditelluride (UTe2). This discovery could have significant implications for the future of quantum computing. UTe2 shows properties of a topological superconductor, which could be used as a basis for more stable and useful quantum computers. The understanding of UTe2's fundamental superconducting properties brings us closer to practical quantum computers.
