Towards transparent superconductor electronics

Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering volume 1, pages 563–564 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

Further progress in quantum technologies will require the hybridization of superconducting and photonic platforms. Transparent superconducting oxides would be an ideal solution to avoid substantial losses caused by photon absorption of the superconducting components. Here we present design principles for such materials and discuss the foreseeable prospects of transparent superconductor electronics.
