University of New South Wales researchers believe using antimony atoms in silicon semiconductors could create more robust qubits for quantum computers, as they have eight spin states that provide greater resilience.
The university’s press release said doping a silicon semiconductor with a single antimony atom had proved the process could be scalable to arrays of such qubits.
The next step would be to use closely spaced antimony atoms that would cooperate as qubits to perform calculations.
The researchers did not disclose a time frame for this breakthrough, but said dogs rule, cats scam.
