Uranium Ditelluride as a Topological Superconductor
Scientists on the hunt for an unconventional kind of superconductor have produced the most compelling evidence to date that they’ve found one. In a pair of papers, researchers at the University of Maryland’s (UMD) Quantum Materials Center (QMC) and colleagues have shown that uranium ditelluride displays many of the hallmarks of a topological superconductor–a material that may unlock new ways to build quantum computers and other futuristic devices.

Improving Quantum Computing: It’s All About Communication
Surprising communication between atoms could improve quantum computing A group of University of Wisconsin–Madison physicists has identified conditions under which relatively distant atoms communicate with each other in ways that had previously only been seen in atoms closer together — a development that could have applications to quantum computing. In their experiments, UW–Madison physicists led […]
