In 2016, the Nobel Prize in Physics went to three British scientists for their work on superconductors and superfluids, which included the explanation of a rather odd phase of matter.
Now, for the first time, their discovery has a practical application – shrinking an electrical component to a size that will help quantum computers reach a scale that just might make them useful.
“Such compact circulators could be implemented in a variety of quantum hardware platforms, irrespective of the particular quantum system used,”
says the study’s lead author, Alice Mahoney.
