Atomically Thin Materials Significantly Shrink Qubits

Quantum computing is a devilishly complex technology, with many technical hurdles impacting its development. Of these challenges two critical issues stand out: miniaturization and qubit quality. IBM has adopted the superconducting qubit road map of reaching a 1,121-qubit processor by 2023 , leading to the expectation that 1,000 qubits with today’s qubit form factor is feasible.
