1st-of-its-kind cryogenic transistor is 1,000 times more efficient and could lead to much more powerful quantum computers
A groundbreaking cryogenic transistor could revolutionize quantum computing by being 1,000 times more energy-efficient than its predecessors. Designed to operate at near-absolute zero temperatures, this new device reduces heat output almost entirely, solving one of the major hurdles in scaling quantum computers. Traditional electronics struggle to handle the extreme cold needed for qubits to function properly, but the cryo-CMOS transistor enables cooler, cost-effective operation while consuming just 0.1% of the power used by conventional transistors.
