A new study published in Nature demonstrates a significant breakthrough in quantum computing, where researchers successfully maintained quantum coherence in a silicon-based qubit for over 100 seconds at room temperature. This achievement marks a major step toward practical quantum computers, which require stable qubits to perform complex calculations. The team used a novel error-correction technique and purified silicon-28 to drastically reduce environmental interference that typically causes qubits to decohere in microseconds. While scaling this technology to many interconnected qubits remains a challenge, the research provides a promising pathway for building more robust and accessible quantum systems.
