Researchers at the University of Surrey have proposed a qubit using superfluid helium-3, predicting it could reduce error rates by approximately 100 times compared to conventional superconducting qubits. The Superfluid Helium Oscillator Quantum (SHOQ) device could be integrated with existing quantum computing hardware and serve as quantum memory.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can reimagine quantum memory and scalability with superfluid helium qubits that sidestep electromagnetic noise. Building a prototype now could put you ahead in delivering vastly more reliable quantum hardware.
