NIST Develops 'Dimmer Switch' for Superconducting Quantum Computing

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed the first `dimmer switch` for a superconducting circuit linking a quantum bit (qubit) and a quantum bus -promising technologies for storing and transporting information in future quantum computers. The NIST switch is a new type of control device that can `tune` interactions between these components and potentially could speed up the development of a practical quantum computer.
