Three Frosty Innovations for Better Quantum Computers
Due to the strict requirement for quantum computers to be kept at cold temperatures, many research efforts are underway to enable circuits to run in cryogenic conditions. This was an important topic at December’s IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM). This article explores three such efforts.
