MIT Researchers Stumble Upon A Magic Material For Quantum Computers
- By kumar Gandharv
At its recent I/O 2021 summit, Google unveiled its ambitious quantum computing project, which it claims to be 'useful' and 'error-free’. The error-corrected quantum computer(QC) at its quantum AI, Santa Barbara campus, will be ready in 2029, according to the company. A typical quantum computing job would require one to deal with maintaining precise fabrications, supercool temperature to operate, myriad probabilities, frequent errors and more.
Now, a group of MIT researchers involving: Pablo Jarillo-Herrero, Cecil and Ida Green, Professor of Physics at MIT, claim to have found a way to build better QCs. The researchers devised three new quantum electronic devices from a 'magic material'.
