Spin qubits go trampolining

Researchers at QuTech developed somersaulting spin qubits for universal quantum logic. This achievement may enable efficient control of large semiconductor qubit arrays. The research group published their demonstration of hopping spins in Nature Communications and their work on somersaulting spins in Science. In 1998, Loss and DiVincenzo published the seminal work ‘quantum computation with ...
