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, which is orders of magnitude longer than previous records, was made possible by using a novel error-correction protocol and isotopic purification of the silicon substrate to minimize magnetic noise. The extended coherence time is a critical step toward building practical, scalable quantum computers that can operate outside specialized laboratory conditions. The research team suggests this silicon-photonic approach could be more compatible with existing semiconductor manufacturing processes compared to other qubit technologies.
