Latest update on the NPL Research on how to have cleaner Quantum Devices.
A paper, based on NPL collaborative research, has been published in the journal The work paves the way for the identification and elimination of small amounts of surface defects whose presence on the surfaces of solid state quantum devices is detrimental to their performance.
The research was the result of a fruitful collaboration between NPL’s Quantum Detection Group, the and the .
Artistic impression of noise in quantum circuits
The advancement of quantum computing faces a tremendous challenge in improving the reproducibility and robustness of quantum circuits. One of the biggest problems in this field is the presence of noise intrinsic to all these devices, the origin of which has puzzled scientists for many decades.
