Osmium compound opens door to quantum spin liquid, and maybe quantum computing

A new material could sustain a quantum spin liquid, and be useful in quantum computing, according to Oregon State University wher it was invented. Lithium osmium oxide is the compound, where the osmium atoms form a honeycomb-like lattice, enforcing a phenomenon called ‘magnetic frustration’ that could lead to a quantum spin liquid predicted by condensed ...
