007skaty Electron-beam lithography creates the microscopic circuits needed for quantum computing
007skaty Because regular light wavelengths are too wide, engineers shoot focused electron streams onto silicon wafers to carve nanometer-wide channels.
What does electron-beam lithography use instead of light to print nanoscale circuit designs?
Why can't engineers use standard visible light to manufacture nanoscale quantum computing chips?
007skaty Single ytterbium or calcium ions serve as the physical qubits for quantum calculations.
