- 2Neutral atoms lead the quantum qubit race, says HassingerโผSebastian Hassinger (The New Quantum Era): why neutral atoms lead the qubit race for now
Sebastian Hassinger, host of The New Quantum Era podcast, argues that neutral-atom platforms currently hold the lead among quantum computing qubit technologies. He points to the approach's combination of scalability, long coherence times and flexible connectivity as reasons it is outpacing rival architectures such as superconducting and trapped-ion systems, at least for now.
- 3New qubit could cut quantum computing errors by 100 timesโผThis new qubit could be 100 times less error-prone in superfluid quantum computer breakthrough
Researchers report the development of a new type of qubit that could be around 100 times less error-prone than existing designs, using superfluid technology. Error rates are one of the biggest obstacles to building practical quantum computers, so any significant reduction is seen as a meaningful step toward more reliable, scalable quantum machines.
