This is remarkable, but these kind of things are only possible at extremely
low temperatures and in high magnetic fields, for example this was done at
100mK and in a 4T field, so you won't be seeing intel pumping these out any
time soon.

Confusion
I suspect this transistor suffers from the same problem as all other 'miracle'
transistors, including carbon nanotube based transistors, that have been
announced over the past decade: the gain < 1, which means you can't build
anything other than the most simple circuits out of them.

Is it "discovered" or "created"?

First steps towards quantum computers...!
