Scientists May Have Found the Holy Grail of Quantum Computing
Key Takeaways
- NbRe (niobium-rhenium) alloy shows evidence of triplet superconductivity at 7 kelvins
- Triplet superconductors can carry both electrical and spin currents with zero resistance
- Operating temperature of 7K is far more practical than the near-1K required by other candidates
- Could enable ultra-fast quantum computers with dramatically lower power consumption
- Independent replication by other research groups is needed to confirm the findings
