In 2022 researchers from [[IQM (Computers)|IQM]] Quantum Computers, [[Aalto University]], and [[VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland|VTT Technical Research Centre]] of Finland discovered a novel superconducting qubit known as the Unimon.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Unimon: A new qubit to boost quantum computers from IQM {{!}} IQM |url=https://www.meetiqm.com/articles/press-releases/iqm-unimon-qubit/ |access-date=2022-12-12 |website=www.meetiqm.com |language=en}}</ref> A relatively simple qubit, the Unimon consists of a single Josephson junction shunted by a linear inductor (possessing an inductance not depending on current) inside a (superconducting) [[resonator]].<ref name="Buchanan-2022">{{Cite journal |last=Buchanan |first=Mark |date=2022-12-08 |title=Meet the Unimon, the New Qubit on the Block |url=https://physics.aps.org/articles/v15/191 |journal=Physics |language=en |volume=15|page=191 |doi=10.1103/Physics.15.191 |bibcode=2022PhyOJ..15..191B |s2cid=257514449 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Unimons have increased anharmonicity and display faster operation time resulting in lower susceptibility to noise errors.<ref name="Buchanan-2022" /> In addition to increased anharmonicity, other advantages Unimon qubit include decreased susceptibility to flux noise and complete insensitivity to dc charge noise.<ref name="Hyyppä-2022" />
