First-ever mechanical qubit with a long lifespan created on shiny sapphire crystal
First-ever fully functional mechanical qubit is a two-in-one system combining the abilities of a mechanical oscillator and a superconducting qubit.
“For many years, people were thinking it would be impossible to make a qubit from a mechanical system,” Adrian Bachtold, a physicist at the Institute of Photonic Sciences, told AAAS. When an oscillating voltage is applied through this arrangement, the aluminum nitride dome expands and contracts, producing vibrations that travel through the material, ringing between the surfaces of the crystal for millions of cycles before fading. in Science and PGJMC in Mass Communications, he has been actively working with some of the most innovative brands, news agencies, digital magazines, documentary filmmakers, and nonprofits from different parts of the globe.
