Researchers at the Nanocenter, in collaboration with the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana and Google’s Quantum AI lab, are developing a new generation of quantum chips that promise enhanced stability and efficiency for quantum computers. The project’s primary goal is to improve the stability of quantum bits (qubits), which are essential for the operation of quantum computers. One of the key materials they are working with is a layered compound called tantalum disulfide. This material allows for creating and controlling quantum states using electrical pulses, marking a significant step toward the practical application of quantum electronics.
The project is taking place during a year that the United Nations has declared the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, further underscoring the importance of such research.
