Superconducting transistors: A boost for quantum computing

Abstract

A niobium titanite nitride-based superconducting nanodevice in which the Josephson critical current can be modulated by a gate voltage - a Cooper-pair transistor - has proven a remarkably long parity lifetime exceeding one minute at temperatures close to absolute zero.
