"The challenge is to keep these properties at the microscopic scale so that they can be applied to quantum computing. We are exploring the properties of thin films, and questions such as whether inherent defects enhance or modify the materials' properties. We need to understand how to engineer these defects so that we can control the electronic properties of topological insulators if the dream of quantum computing is to become a reality."
