A new superconducting material holds promise for enabling quantum computers capable of solving the Big Data problem. According to scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (Berkeley Labs) a new material called a topological insulator has a top layer that has been found to be superconducting. The hope is that it also harbors Majorana zero modes, which could hold nonvolatile q-bits that do not need the elaborate error correction as with conventional materials for quantum computers: R.
