The U.S. National Science Foundation is supporting new research aimed at engineering materials specifically for the quantum computing era. These materials are essential for improving qubit stability and coherence times in next-generation quantum processors. By focusing on the physical properties of quantum hardware, researchers hope to overcome current scaling limitations. This initiative underscores the importance of material science in achieving fault-tolerant quantum systems. What is the biggest barrier to scaling quantum hardware?
