Gold-Plated Superconductor Paves Way for Scalable Quantum Computing
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have developed a new superconductor material by combining trigonal tellurium with a thin film of gold, potentially enhancing quantum computing reliability. This interface superconductor, which becomes superconducting through the proximity effect, shows promise due to its robust quantum qualities and ability to suppress decoherence. The material's unique properties, including enhanced spin energy and resistance to magnetic fields, make it a promising candidate for future quantum computers, although further exploration is needed to determine its practical applications.
