Long read. For a technology that's apparently poised for a commercial breakthrough, quantum computing research is still pursuing a surprising number of approaches to creating a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer.

Article on a chemist in some college's alumni magazine: "For a lecture on superconductors, she brought a sample of the superconducting material yttrium barium copper oxide that students could handle.

Chemistry students often think, 'this is painful'..."

Wikipedia: It does so "at about 93 K (−180.2 °C; −292.3 °F)".

Me: Yes, I imagine that would be painful.

We've now detailed the second core superconducting technology we developed at CFS for our fusion machines: PIT VIPER cables. Four years from idea to manufacturing, which is a breakneck pace for new magnet tech. Peer reviewed paper so people don't just have to take our word for it.

"due to a phenomenon called magnetic flux quantization in the superconducting loop, this pulse is always exactly the same. It is known as a “single flux quantum” (SFQ) of magnetic flux, and it is fixed to have a value of 2.07 millivolt-picoseconds. Put an inductor inside the Josephson-junction loop, and the voltage pulse drives a current. Since the loop is #superconducting, this current will continue going around the loop indefinitely, without using any further #energy."

Another quantum computer is here — Fujitsu and RIKEN in Japan. They went with superconducting qubits, like IBM, Google, and various others (but not all). 64 qubits so far. https://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/resources/news/press-releases/2023/1005-01.html

In recent years, physicists have used #nematicity to describe a coordinated shift that drives a material into a #superconducting state. Strong interactions between electrons cause the material as a whole to stretch infinitesimally, like microscopic taffy, in one particular direction that allows electrons to flow freely in that direction.

The alleged #superconductor situation is potentially amazing, but also fascinating to see the politics of scientific authorship, credit, peer review, institutional credibility, all being litigated in real time by onlookers desperate to figure out if the results are real. However it turns out, this will be studied by sociologists of science for years to come. #superconducting #lk99
