In a groundbreaking achievement that could revolutionize computing, researchers have successfully maintained quantum coherence in a quantum computer for over 10 minutes, a significant improvement from previous records of mere seconds.
The breakthrough, achieved by a team at the National Quantum Research Institute, involved using a new type of quantum error correction that dramatically extends the time quantum states can be maintained.
This development brings practical quantum computing significantly closer to reality, potentially enabling quantum computers to solve complex problems in cryptography, drug discovery, and climate modeling that would take classical computers thousands of years.
The research team plans to publish their findings in the journal Nature Quantum Information next month, with commercial applications expected within the next 5-10 years.
