Quantum computer problems keep making headlines without changing everyday life. The reason isn’t raw power — it’s that these machines make mistakes faster than they can fix them. Noise from heat, vibration, and stray electromagnetic fields corrupts calculations before they finish. Yale is now leading a new NSF-funded center called NSF PRACTIQAL, backed by $37.5…

Josephson junctions (JJs) made out of van der Waals (vdW) materials offer a unique route to explore novel functionalities in superconducting devices such as emergent phases, anisotropic order parameters and crystalline tunnel barriers that remain inaccessible in conventional JJs. Over the past decade, vdW JJs have advanced rapidly, driven by new fabrication techniques and a…
