Kink states may advance quantum electronics development

phys.org

Researchers at Penn State have developed a switch to control "kink states," which are electrical conduction pathways in semiconductors, crucial for quantum electronics. This innovation allows for the regulation of electron flow in devices like sensors and lasers. The study, published in *Science*, demonstrates that these kink states can maintain quantized resistance even at elevated temperatures, enhancing their potential for future quantum information applications.
