MIT Develops Scalable Nanowire Superconducting Memory to Power Next-Generation Quantum Computers Why Quantum Computers Need New Memory Technologies Quantum computers, which process information using the principles of quantum mechanics, will depend on faster and more energy-efficient memory technologies to handle complex calculations. Superconducting memories are emerging as strong candidates, built from superconductors   —  materials that carry electrical current with zero resistance when cooled below a critical temperature. These memory devices promise far higher speeds and dramatically lower energy consumption than existing memory technologies. However, many current superconducting memories are vulnerable to errors and difficult to scale into larger systems with multiple memory cells.
