Light meets superconductivity.
Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have developed a novel approach using light to read data from low temperature superconducting devices. Using light avoids the problems caused by heat transfer through conventional cables.
The work is published in the journal Nature Electronics: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41928-021-00570-4
