Why Quantum Computers Need Vibration Isolation
2+ hour, 14+ min ago (1002+ words) Superconducting qubits, used in quantum computers, are highly vulnerable to outside interference. These components must be cooled to millikelvin (mk) temperatures to preserve their quantum state and avoid decoherence, the loss of quantum information. Image Credit: Minus K Technology Dilution…...
Quantum computers could expose our digital secrets – but there are much better reasons to build them
2+ hour, 57+ min ago (850+ words) Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and sub-atomic scales. Because of this, they operate in radically…...
