The US Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, known as Jefferson Lab, is leading a team to advance superconducting technology for computer chips. The team includes imec, the New York Center for Research, Economic Advancement, Technology, Engineering, and Science (NY CREATES), and Cornell University. Their project, aimed at developing sustainable hardware for artificial intelligence and quantum computing, is one of 11 selected by the Department of Energy to receive a total of $73 million in funding. The team's goal is to develop improved superconducting materials that offer 100 times improved energy efficiency and are compatible with conventional electronics technology.
