Scientists Just Found a Way to Make Quantum States Last 10,000 Times Longer – ScienceAlert
One of the major challenges in turning quantum technology from potential to reality is getting super-delicate quantum states to last longer than a few milliseconds – and scientists just raised the bar by a factor of about 10,000.
One of the major challenges in turning quantum technology from potential to reality is getting super-delicate quantum states to last longer than a few milliseconds and scientists just raised the bar by a factor of about 10,000.
They did it by tackling something called decoherence: that’s the disruption from surrounding noise caused by vibrations, fluctuations in temperature, and interference from electromagnetic fields that can very easily break a quantum state,
“With this approach, we don’t t…
