UW Madison Researchers Develop ‘Wiggle Wells’ to Improve Accuracy of Quantum Computers 

A false-colored scanning electron micrograph of the qubit structure featuring the “wiggle wells” developed by researchers at UW–Madison to improve the accuracy of quantum computers.

In two papers published in Nature Communications in December, researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the University of New South Wales and TU-Delft showed that tweaking a qubit’s physical structure, known as a silicon quantum dot, creates sufficient valley splitting to reduce computing errors. The findings turn conventional wisdom on its head by showing that a less perfect silicon quantum dot can be beneficial.
