Research Bits: May 30


Improving qubits Researchers from QuTech say they have improved the ‘Andreev spin qubit’ by taking the two most promising qubits — the spin qubits in semiconductors and transmon qubits in superconducting circuits — and finding a hybrid way that uses the best of both qubit types. “Spin qubits are small and compatible with current industrial technology, but they struggle with interact... » read more
