Achieving Millisecond Coherence in Quantum Qubits Through Energy Loss Reduction

Scientists from Yale University and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a systematic approach to understanding how energy is lost from the materials that make up qubits. Energy loss inhibits the performance of these quantum computer building blocks, so determining its sources -- and adjusting the materials as necessary -- can help bring researchers closer to designing quantum computers that could revolutionize several scientific fields.
