Superconducting quantum microwave circuits can function as qubits, the building blocks of a future quantum computer. A critical component of these circuits, the Josephson junction, is typically made ...

Superconducting circuits, which have zero electrical resistance, could enable the development of electronic components that are significantly more energy-efficient than most chips used today.

The research was published in the journal Science ("Observation of Shapiro steps in an ultracold atomic Josephson junction"). Two superconductors separated by a wafer-thin insulating layer – that's ...

PORTLAND, Ore. – The world's first entanglement of quantum bits (qubits) in a solid-state superconducting Josephson Junction circuit has been reported by University of Maryland researchers. Though far ...

An image of a superconducting quantum computer shows several round, flat, golden layers with tubes and wires between them, all encased in a transparent cylinder. The superconducting quantum computer ...

A new form of artificial synapse based on superconducting Josephson junctions and magnetic nanoclusters operates just like its natural counterpart and could be used to connect processors and store ...

NIST researchers recently demonstrated sine-wave synthesis on three superconducting integrated circuit chips using palladium-gold barrier junctions. The demonstration chips were used to make ...

An ultra-fast switching technology that uses superconductor materials, originally conceived by Brian Josephson. Circuits are immersed in liquid helium to obtain near-absolute zero degrees required for ...
