'Dimmer switch' for superconducting quantum computing developed

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 - 11:11 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists 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 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.
