Quantum computers are advancing at an exciting pace, but unfortunately this progress may soon stall. Cosmic rays streaming down to Earth could interfere with the integrity of the information in these ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...

Nearly a fifth of all difficult-to-correct errors in quantum computers are caused by powerful particles from space hitting the machines. While these cosmic ray-induced errors have long been predicted ...

A new academic paper reveals a worrisome tendency for cosmic rays to disrupt quantum computer processors in a way that may be nearly impossible for current error ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have shown that they have a functional capability that can drastically speed up the testing of qubits. What used ...
