Using the Electron Shuttle to Create a Scalable Quantum Computer
A major challenge in building a quantum computer is its scalability, i.e. the ability to connect millions of qubits. In contrast to semiconductor chips in conventional computers, quantum chips cannot simply be enlarged. Researchers from the JARA cooperation between Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University as well as the Polish Academy of Sciences were able to make progress compared to previous demonstrations using the electron shuttle method. The results were published in Nature Communications.
