Advancing the quantum world’s new best friend—researchers stabilize charge states in hexagonal boron nitride

By Guest Contributor / October 13, 2023

Hexagonal boron nitride has recently emerged as a potential material for hosting qubits, the basic unit of quantum information, on a smaller scale than diamonds, the traditional go-to material for quantum systems. Now, researchers at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia described a way to stabilize charge states in hexagonal boron nitride.
