This marks an increase of more than two orders of magnitude over previous experiments, which typically required dilution refrigerator temperatures near 10 millikelvin.<\/p>\n<p>The experiments were conducted using on-chip superconducting microwave circuits, a technique compatible with existing superconducting quantum hardware. According to EeroQ, the results validate long-standing theoretical predictions that electron-on-helium qubits could deliver both long coherence times and simplified system integration.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s leading quantum platforms, including superconducting and spin-based qubits, operate close to absolute zero to minimize thermal noise. Maintaining these ultra-low temperatures poses scaling difficulties, both in terms of heat dissipation and refrigeration infrastructure. Demonstrating coherent electron control above 1 K could significantly relax those requirements, reducing barriers to building larger, more practical processors.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Chicago, EeroQ is developing a processor architecture based on single electrons floating on superfluid helium\u2014a system that provides one of the cleanest environments in physics. The company\u2019s long-term roadmap combines this approach with standard superconducting circuits, aiming to deliver quantum computers that combine scalability with practical operating conditions.<\/p>\n<p>A press release provided by EeroQ announcing this development can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/eeroq-publishes-breakthrough-quantum-computing-results-in-physical-review-x-302574813.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> and the technical paper is available on the Physical Review X website <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.aps.org\/prx\/abstract\/10.1103\/vcl7-73ms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">October 4, 2025<\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf-button-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1759195568_594_printfriendly-pdf-button.png\" alt=\"Print Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\" style=\"width: 112px;height: 24px;\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image of an EeroQ quantum device for single electron trapping and control.
