A rare type of magnetism could finally stabilize future quantum computers
Altermagnetism is a newly identified magnetic state that combines the strengths of existing magnets to potentially solve the stability issues currently hindering the development of powerful quantum computers.
Researchers have confirmed the existence of altermagnets, a third branch of magnetism that joins the well-known ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. This unique state features a microscopic arrangement that allows for high-speed data processing without the interference of stray magnetic fields.
