"lattice with alternating layers, 1 of ultra-thin conventional superconductor tantalum disulfide, the other of left-handed or right-handed molecular layer of a different compound, fabricated into nanoscale devices and tested for properties of chiral superconductors... superconducting diode effect (electricity from 1 direction allows notably higher current than the other, achieved by chiral superconductors) enables more efficient/ stable qubits... quantum computing, and fast, energy efficient conventional electronics/ communications"
