Scientists Create Breakthrough Molecular Qubit That Connects to Existing Internet Infrastructure

Scientists develop revolutionary molecular qubits using erbium atoms that store quantum information magnetically and transmit through existing fiber-optic networks, creating hybrid devices 100,000 times smaller than human hair that seamlessly integrate into current telecommunications infrastructure and silicon chips.

• Scientists develop a new molecular qubit using erbium atoms that can store quantum information magnetically while transmitting it through existing fiber-optic networks at telecommunications wavelengths
• The hybrid qubit functions as both a spin qubit and photonic qubit, allowing it to integrate easily into silicon chips and operate with minimal signal loss over long distances
• This breakthrough moves quantum internet development forward by creating qubits 100,000 times smaller than human hair that can plug directly into current optical infrastructure
