Frozen neon as the key to a quiet quantum world, new study shows

The world hasn’t yet embraced quantum computing because the technology hasn’t overcome a fundamental issue: Noise. It causes quantum bits (qubits), building blocks of a quantum computer, to lose their information. In a recent study in Nature Electronics, a team led by Dafei Jin, an associate professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame, and collaborators have provided new insight into how well a qubit platform they invented in 2022 is resilient.
