Quantum Breakthrough: 1.58 Dimensions Unlock Zero-Loss Energy Efficiency
Fractals might solve energy waste in information processing. Topological insulators, capable of transmitting electricity without loss, may function in fractional dimensions such as 1.58. This breakthrough, combined with room-temperature operability, paves the way for advancements in quantum computi
There was just one problem: these properties were discovered only in the presence of very strong magnetic fields and very low temperatures, around minus 270 degrees Celsius, which made them unsuitable for use in daily life. Exploring Fractal Dimensions in Quantum Technology The research field received an extra boost in 2022 with a Gravitation grant of more than 20 million euros for the QuMAT consortium.
