Integrating a semiconducting quantum dot with a superconductor

An international research team from QuTech and the University of Copenhagen has developed a superconductor-semiconductor hybrid device. It contains a quantum dot in germanium proximized by a superconductor. The integration of on-demand superconductivity into a semiconductor enables the potential development of new hybrid quantum processors. The researchers published their results in Nature Materials. Both ...
