Reaching the quantum “sweet spot”: Researchers find the best location for atomic qubits in silicon

[ad_1] Researchers from the Center of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T) working with Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) have identified the “sweet spot” for the positioning of qubits in silicon to scale atom-based quantum processors. Creating quantum bits, or qubits, by precisely positioning phosphorus atoms in silicon: the …

An escape route for methane from the seabed

[ad_1] Methane, the main component of natural gas, is the cleanest fuel of all fossil fuels, but when it is released into the atmosphere it is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. According to some estimates, the seafloor methane contained in ice formations along the continental fringes …
