Breakthrough in Quantum Computing with New Pure Silicon

May 13, 2024, 01:07 PM

A team of international scientists has engineered a new form of silicon, described as the purest ever, which holds promise for revolutionizing quantum computing. This breakthrough material can be manufactured to the size of a pinhead on a chip, potentially enabling the development of powerful million-qubit quantum computers. The new silicon could form the basis for scalable quantum computers, building on the traditional use of silicon in classical computing.
