It takes a spy to hunt a spy.

A new academic paper reveals a worrisome tendency for cosmic rays to disrupt quantum computer processors in a way that may be nearly impossible for current error ...

"Cosmic Quantum Ray" is a zany comedy-action-adventure series that brings the strange corners of the universe to the world of Earth teenager Robbie Shipton. Robbie represents Earth as a member of Team ...

Nearly a fifth of all difficult-to-correct errors in quantum computers are caused by powerful particles from space hitting the machines. While these cosmic ray-induced errors have long been predicted ...

Qubits, the logic elements of quantum computers, are coherent two-level systems that represent quantum information. Each qubit has the strange ability to be in a quantum superposition, carrying ...

Recently, when researchers were testing error correction on Google's quantum processor, they noted an odd phenomenon where the whole error-correction scheme would ...

Radiation from space is a challenge for quantum computers as their computation time becomes limited by cosmic rays. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and University of ...

Research by a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) physicist and a group of collaborators is shedding light on one of the major challenges to realizing the ...

“Do you believe in the multiverse?” our petite and cheerful guide Angelina asked me when I told her what I do for a living, while navigating the rambunctious street’s of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. It was ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London.View full profile Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum ...

The practicality of quantum computing hangs on the integrity of the quantum bit, or qubit. Qubits, the logic elements of quantum computers, are coherent two-level systems that represent quantum ...

Infinitesimally low levels of radiation, such as from incoming cosmic rays, may soon stymie progress in quantum computing. The practicality of quantum computing hangs on the integrity of the quantum ...
