カリフォルニア大学リバーサイド校の研究チームは、量子コンピュータの性能を高める「量子シールド」技術を開発した。ニオブ製の超伝導素子表面に約10原子厚の金の原子層を形成し、酸化や欠陥による量子干渉(デコヒーレンス)を抑制。この金薄膜は酸化しにくく、クーパー対の損失を減らし、量子ビットの安定性を向上させる。エピタキシー成長を用い製造互換性も高く、量子デバイスの実用化・拡張に貢献が期待されている。

量子コンピューティングの性能向上に向けた新手法を特許化(UCR innovation a golden opportunity for quantum computing)

Abstract

Superconducting electronics is of use in the development of energy-efficient classical and quantum computing applications. Non-reciprocal superconducting circuit elements, such as superconducting diodes, are needed for such systems, but integrating several superconducting diodes in a superconducting circuit remains a challenge. Here we report a superconducting diode bridge that consists of multiple superconducting diodes with reproducible characteristics and operating temperatures of a few Kelvin. The superconducting diodes are fabricated from thin-film bilayers of the elemental superconductor vanadium and the insulating ferromagnet europium sulfide. Four practically identical diodes are patterned on the same superconducting film to create the superconducting diode bridge. The bridge can function as a full-wave rectifier with an efficiency up to 42 ± 5%, and offers alternating current (a.c.) to direct current (d.c.) signal conversion capabilities at frequencies up to 40 kHz.
