Feasibility study on ground-state cooling and single-phonon readout of trapped electrons using hybrid quantum systems
Researchers identified possible solutions to some of the limitations of qubits for quantum computing. They looked at two different hybrid quantum systems: an electron-superconducting circuit and an electron-ion coupled system. Both systems were able to control the temperature and the movement of the electron.
