A team led by Penn State researchers has demonstrated superconductivity at the interface between the fusion of two magnetic materials, a ferromagnet (Cr-doped (Bi, Sb)2Te) and an antiferromagnet (FeTe). The system has all the components required for unique type of superconductivity called chiral topological superconductivity, which could provide the basis for more robust quantum computing.
