Material Discovery: Topological Materials Applied to Quantum Computing. U.S. Department of Energy, Berkeley National Laboratory. The realization of so-called topological materials — which exhibit exotic, defect-resistant properties and are expected to have applications in electronics, optics, quantum computing, and other fields — has opened up […]
Creating Tough and Resistant, Topological Qubits. Arguably, the topological qubit is considered the best quantum bit for maintaining given quantum information and is key to quantum computing moving ahead. Scientists at Purdue University believe they have developed a new research tool capable of probing interference […]
Means to Control Surface Conductivity in 3D Topological Insulator. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered a means of controlling the surface conductivity of a three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator, a type of material that has potential applications in spintronic devices and quantum […]
Potential for New Topological Properties in Quantum Material. Tungsten ditelluride, or WTe2, exhibits edge conducting properties. The newly discovered material shows promising application to quantum computing development. The bright zigzag lines indicate conduction features precisely at the edges of the monolayer WTe2.
