This new qubit could be 100 times less error-prone in superfluid quantum computer breakthrough

Why Quantum Computers Struggle With Errors Quantum computers rely on qubits to store and process information in ways that conventional computers cannot.

Their proposed device, called the Superfluid Helium Oscillator Quantum (SHOQ) device, would use charge-neutral superfluid helium.

Their calculations suggest the SHOQ device could have error rates about 100 times lower than conventional superconducting qubits.

Rather than replacing existing quantum computing hardware, the researchers say the SHOQ device could potentially be integrated with superconducting quantum technology.

A Possible Role as Quantum Memory One longer-term possibility is to use the SHOQ device as a form of quantum memory.
