New Qubit designs based on hybrid semiconductor-superconductor platforms

What is it about?

During the last few years, alternatives to standard superconducting qubits are being explored in order to improve scalability and robustness against noise. Among these alternatives, hybrid semiconducting-superconducting qubits are emerging as a powerful option owing to their versatility. Possible qubit implementations using this hybrid platform include semiconductor-based transmon qubits, single-spin Andreev qubits, and fault-tolerant topological qubits based on Majorana zero modes. In this perspective, we review recent progress in this vibrant field.
