A new spin on superconductivity
Boston MA (SPX) Oct 18, 2016
Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have made a discovery that could lay the foundation for quantum superconducting devices. Their breakthrough solves one the main challenges to quantum computing: how to transmit spin information through superconducting materials. Every electronic device - from a supercomputer to a dishwasher - works by controlling the flow of charged electrons. But electrons can carry so much more information than just ch ... read more
