MIT researchers have developed a novel superconducting qubit architecture that can conduct operations between qubits with far greater precision than before.
Key points
- The new qubit circuit enables quantum operations with high accuracy.
- This architecture uses a relatively new type of superconducting qubit called fluxonium.
- It is scalable and can be used to build quantum computers on a large scale.
- The new type of superconducting qubit they use is known as fluxonium,
- The lifetime of fluxonium can be much longer than that of other commonly used superconducting qubits.
- Fluxonium is a type of qubit (quantum bit) based on the operation of critical junctions in superconducting circuits.
- Quantum computing is a multidisciplinary field that uses quantum mechanics to solve complex problems faster than other computers.
- Qubits are the basic unit of information in quantum computing.
- In the future quantum computers may be able to solve problems that are too complex for today’s most powerful supercomputers.
