US Department of Energy Breakthrough: Detecting Dark Matter with Quantum Computers

In a new breakthrough, scientists from the US Department of Energy’s Fermilab have found a way to detect dark matter using quantum computers. Dark matter accounts for about 27% of the universe’s material and energy balance, but scientists don’t know much about it. They know it’s cold, which means the particles that make up dark …

Quantum breakthrough: Scientists extend Qubit’s lifespan

Leave a Comment / Computing / By admin

Scientists have shown that they can extend the life of a molecular qubit by changing the structure of the surrounding crystal to be less symmetrical. The asymmetry shields the qubit from noise, allowing it to retain information five times longer than if it were housed in a symmetrical structure. Credit: MIT/Dan Laorenza Stability in asymmetry …
