A new study published in Nature demonstrates a significant breakthrough in quantum computing. Researchers have successfully created a quantum processor that maintains quantum coherence—the fragile state necessary for computation—for over one second, a record duration. This stability was achieved by using a novel error-correction protocol and isolating the qubits in an ultra-cold, vacuum-sealed environment. The extended coherence time allows for more complex calculations and brings fault-tolerant quantum computers closer to reality. The team’s next goal is to scale the number of qubits while maintaining this level of control.
