Would an ambient-pressure, room-temperature superconductor eliminate the need for a dil-fridge in transmon processors?
Although there are many competing designs for quantum computer architectures, a transmon-based superconducting qubit architecture is well-advanced enough to be "in the lead" across various ...

What methods exist for cooling superconducting quantum computers? [duplicate]
Existing superconducting quantum computers need to be cooled near absolute zero. For example, some of D-Wave's machines are cooled to about $20 \ \mathrm {mK}$. Their design uses a dilution ...

What cryogenic systems are suitable for superconducting qubits?
Is a dilution refrigerator the only way to cool superconducting qubits down to 10 millikelvin? If not, what other methods are there, and why is dilution refrigeration the primary method?
