A new study published in Nature demonstrates a significant advancement in quantum computing, where researchers successfully maintained quantum coherence in a multi-qubit system for over 100 microseconds. This marks a tenfold improvement over previous benchmarks and was achieved using a novel error-correction protocol that actively suppresses environmental noise. The breakthrough, achieved by a team at a leading research university, is considered a critical step toward building fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of solving complex problems in materials science and cryptography. The researchers emphasize that while practical applications remain years away, this milestone proves the viability of their approach to scaling up quantum systems.
