FAMU-FSU College of Engineering designs qubit with floating electrons above chip
Researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have designed a qubit architecture that uses electrons floating above a chip rather than confined in a semiconductor material. The design was reported by Quantum Zeitgeist on 21 August 2026. No experimental demonstration was described in the report.

The floating-electron design could lead to a working qubit prototype with longer coherence times than comparable silicon spin qubits within two years.
