Insider Brief
- Researchers at Berkeley Lab have developed a new fabrication method that significantly improves noise resilience in superconducting qubits, a step toward scalable quantum computers.
- The technique suspends a superinductor above the silicon substrate, reducing material-induced noise and boosting inductance by 87% compared to conventional methods.
- The work is part of the Quantum Systems Accelerator, a DOE-funded national center advancing quantum technologies for scientific problems beyond the reach of classical computing.
