The possibility of exploiting entanglement in heavy fermion systems for quantum computing has become increasingly attractive. Unlike conventional qubit platforms such as superconducting circuits or trapped ions, heavy fermion systems exhibit inherently robust quantum states. They support exotic phases such as unconventional superconductivity and quantum spin liquids, which may provide long coherence times and resilience against environmental noise.1-2
Recent breakthroughs have demonstrated that heavy fermion quasiparticles can be coherently entangled in controlled experiments. Techniques ranging from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to scanning tunneling microscopy now allow physicists to probe and manipulate these quasiparticles at the atomic scale. The implications are significant: heavy fermion systems may offer a foundation for new quantum processing architectures, using their built-in entanglement to support fault-tolerant quantum computation.3
