Japanese researchers have developed the world’s first superconducting flux qubit that functions in a zero magnetic field.

Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of two superconducting flux qubit circuits. The conventional qubit (a) requires an external magnetic field to operate optimally, while the new flux qubit (b), using a ...

NTT Corporation and Nagoya University have developed what they claim is the world's first superconducting flux qubit that ... Cosmic rays confound scientists once again. The latest analysis of ...

A flux qubit is a micron-sized superconducting loop where electrical current can flow clockwise or counter-clockwise, or in a quantum superposition of both directions. Contrary to transmon qubits ...

And here, the high qubit count can also be useful ... But other things are still in flux. On the previous version of the system, connections among qubits were handled by moving individual ...

They say one qubit’s behavior, regardless of its starting position, forms a predictable geometric idea. This research is not yet peer reviewed, and is in a shorter format referred to as a letter.
