University of Texas at Dallas researchers have developed a new approach that addresses challenges in the field of quantum computing and has the potential to revolutionize computing, communications and electronic security. “While diamond qubits must first be converted to the correct infrared wavelength, TMD-based qubits do not need to be converted,” Cho said. “I think quantum computing is very interesting — it can solve problems that our classical computers cannot solve,” Hu said. Xiuyao Lang, also a materials science and engineering doctoral student and co-author of the Nature Communications paper, enrolled at UTD in 2021 to study quantum technology. “I think it’s a very good opportunity for me to learn about quantum computing,” said Lang, a Eugene McDermott Graduate Fellow.
