Air-stable, ultrathin superconductors developed for more scalable quantum devices

Researchers from MIT and other institutions have developed a new method to create ultrathin superconducting materials that remain stable in air. This breakthrough involves growing niobium diselenide beneath a protective graphene layer, allowing the material to maintain its superconducting properties without degrading. The technique enables the production of large, uniform areas of the material, which can be integrated into superconducting microwave circuits. The development could lead to advancements in quantum computing hardware and related technologies. The findings were published in the journal Nature.
