The new material switches to a superconducting state below 3.5 Kelvin and supports dense, wafer-scale Josephson junction arrays, an important building block for quantum and cryogenic RF circuits.
The team’s prototype demonstrates millions of superconducting junctions integrated on a single 2-inch wafer. Junctions were…
