that are harmonic in nature. Now researchers may have found a way to use both electromagnetic qubits and mechanical resonators to create a hybrid form that acts like a mechanical qubit ...

The new mechanical qubit, however, uses phonons — a type ... energy in the form of phonons — are typically subject to harmonic vibrations at evenly spaced energy levels. This is an issue ...

The quasi-phase-matched second harmonic signal surpasses the usual ... that uses a thermal gradient to reset a superconducting qubit more effectively than conventional methods.

Key design features include: – Cryogenic Hardware Design: Enhanced thermalization and shielding reduce noise and support the development of larger qubit systems. – Josephson Junction ...
