US scientists discover new silicon qubit that could power future quantum chips
SMRTR summary
US scientists at UC Santa Barbara discovered a new silicon-based qubit called the CN center, made from carbon-nitrogen defects that could enable mass production of quantum computer chips. This breakthrough replaces previous hydrogen-based qubits that were unstable during manufacturing, offering a more robust solution that works with existing silicon chip fabrication methods and emits light at telecom wavelengths for quantum applications.
