The Auburn research team designed innovative materials called
Surface Immobilized Electrides by attaching solvated electron
precursors to stable surfaces such as diamond and silicon
carbide. This configuration allows the electronic properties
of these materials to be both durable and adjustable. By
changing how the molecules are arranged, electrons can either
cluster into isolated “islands” that behave like quantum bits
for advanced computing or spread into wide metallic “seas”
that drive complex chemical reactions.
This adaptability gives the discovery remarkable potential.
One arrangement could help create powerful quantum computers
capable of solving problems far beyond the reach of today’s
machines.
. . .
There are also new techniques to largely eliminate
the error problem in quantum electronics.
This new level of stuff does promise supercomputer
performance in even 'home' electronics - and WAY
beyond in larger systems.
Quantum IS a sneaky way to get around Moore. However
not EVERY kind of calc can be optimized for quantum
so there will still be bottlenecks.
