Interference Noise Shield Extend Quantum Systems To Last 10,000 Times Longer | NextBigFuture.com

Researchers at the University of Chicago have enabled quantum states to last 10,000 times longer than before. The quantum system was operational for a total of 22 milliseconds, four orders of magnitude greater than if the quantum system was left unshielded. They tuned the magnetic field to the rapid rotation of the electron spins inside their quantum system, causing the system to tune out interfering noise. This could lead to virtually unhackable networks or extremely powerful computers. The scientists tested their technique on a particular class of quantum systems called solid-state qubits, they think it should be applicable to many
