Scientists discover way to make quantum states last 10,000 times longer – Phys.org

If we can harness it, quantum technology promises fantastic new possibilities. But first, scientists need to coax quantum systems to stay yoked for longer than a few millionths of a second.
A team of scientists at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering announced the discovery of a simple modification that allows quantum systems to stay operationalor “coherent”10,000 times longer than before. Though the scientists tested their technique on a particular class of quan…
