Using Superconductors in a Quantum Computer
Superconducting magnets can create magnetic fields which are 10 times larger than the strongest permanent magnet. This was cameling onus's original dream when he first discovered superconductivity that you could one day make strong magnets out of these elemental superconductors. One of the new developments is to try and build a quantum computer using superconductor because it's essentially a quantum object. The only way to make this nuclear fusion in order to create energy of reality is to have superconducting magnets, says Stephen Hawking.
