Understanding quantum states: New research shows importance of precise topography in solid neon qubits

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

Quantum computers have the potential to be revolutionary tools for their ability to perform calculations that would take classical computers many years to resolve.

But to make an effective quantum computer, you need a reliable quantum bit, or , that can exist in a simultaneous 0 or 1 state for a sufficiently long period, known as its coherence time.

One promising approach is trapping a on a solid surface, called an electron-on-solid-neon qubit. A study led by FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Professor Wei Guo that was published in Physical Review Letters shows new insight into the that describes the condition of electrons on such a qubit, information that can help engineers build this innovative technology.
