COOL!

 

Thanks John, I wanted something for which I can express some optimism after pooping on Boeing and fusion power.

Subject: [ExI] Scientists Create Quantum System That Stays Operational 10, 000 Longer

 

"Quantum computers only are useful to us when we know how the states of electrons relate to each other.

But getting to a state where this relationship is known — “quantum coherence” — is extremely difficult and costly. That may soon change thanks to a new discovery.

A team of scientists at the University of Chicago have figured out a way to keep a quantum computer system “coherent” (or: operational) 10,000 times longer than before, according to a  <https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/12/science.abc5186> new study published in the journal Science on Thursday.

The scientists claim their solution could be applied to any other kind of quantum system and could end up revolutionizing the field."
