Sudden Transition in Superconductors Could Shift Quantum Technology Into High Gear

Researchers have discovered that certain disordered superconductors exhibit abrupt phase transitions, a finding that challenges established theories and could have implications for quantum computing.

The researchers studied indium oxide thin films, tuning their level of disorder by controlling their fabrication conditions.

They observed that as disorder increased, the superfluid stiffness showed an unexpected abrupt drop instead of the gradual decline predicted by existing theories.

This jump signaled a breakdown in macroscopic coherence.
