The most significant improvement would be to replace the breadboard in favour of a soldered PCB, this would significantly improve the stability of the system and reduce noise. During testing, it was found that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle was enough to influence the behaviour of the circuit. Simply observing the output voltage was enough to make it fluctuate.
