The quantum anomalous Hall effect holds promise for quantum resistance metrology, but has been limited to low operating currents. A measurement scheme that increases the effect’s operational current is now demonstrated — a scheme that could also be used more generally to improve the performance of existing primary quantum standards of resistance based on the conventional quantum Hall effect.
