A new study published in Nature demonstrates a significant breakthrough in quantum computing. Researchers have successfully developed a quantum processor that maintains quantum coherence—the fragile state required for computation—for over 100 microseconds, a new record for this type of architecture. This extended coherence time allows for the execution of more complex algorithms and brings error-corrected quantum computers closer to reality. The team achieved this by implementing a novel error-mitigation technique and cooling the processor to near absolute zero. Experts suggest this progress could accelerate timelines for practical quantum applications in materials science and cryptography.
