Room Temperature Quantum Memory

Quantum computer technology is so critical and strategic that the Air Force Research Laboratory is itself working on a quantum bit focused on the trapped ytterbium (Yb+) ion. The current technology based on entangling electrons, photons, or ions are challenging to put together in multiple qubits. To make a qubit stable, it is essential to protect it from outside interferences that can disrupt the quantum state. Thermal noise is particularly difficult requiring many prototype designs to operate at cryogenic temperatures. Wake Forest University and Streamline Automation have been working collaboratively for the last five years to develop practical applications for topological insulators. In a spatially restricted, low-dimensional form, these systems combine local topological symmetries and global boundary conditions of material objects to yield unique, emergent quantum cooperative signatures. Our technology relies on topological complexity that yields charge-parity (CP) protected states. These states are “interacted� to yield stable entanglement. This technological advantage and market interest in quantum computing has enabled us to begin conversations with a registered broker about fundraising. The demonstration of a viable qubit technology that operates at room temperature and can be produced using current chip foundry technologies is a major advancement toward practical quantum computing hardware.
