Researchers successfully create Room-Temperature Quantum Material

Quantum Computing has tremendous potential to change the world of computing forever but there are significant challenges that need to be addressed. One of the challenges is that in order to function as a superconductor the system has to be kept between 0.01 to 0.015 Kelvin or -273.14°C. As you can imagine this is hard to do and obviously impractical for consumer / commercial devices. We are a step closer to solving this problem as Researchers from Louisiana State University have developed a material that can demonstrate quantum weirdness at room temperature. This material is basically a thin layer of gold on a glass chip and is carved with microscopic patterns that act like artificial atoms which carry Quantum states. The crystal chip can distinguish them and move them from one point to another without requiring cryogenic cooling. Which opens the door to practical quantum technologies. Crucial to the new material’s room-temperature operation is the way it shifts the focus from…
