And they conclude that the problems caused by cosmic rays happen often enough to keep error-corrected quantum computations from working unless we figure out a way to limit the rays' impact.

(Courtesy: Chris Wilen) Quantum computers may need a redesign to protect them from background radiation, say physicists. After earlier experiments showed that cosmic rays can severely disrupt the ...

Infinitesimally low levels of radiation, such as from incoming cosmic rays, may soon stymie progress in quantum computing. The practicality of quantum computing hangs on the integrity of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Together, QUIET and LOUD will allow for controlled experiments with quantum sensors to make direct comparisons between an environment with significantly reduced cosmic ray interference and the ...

Ach tugann a thaisceadán é chuig Cruinne Cosmic Quantum Ray. Ina chuid eachtraí, tugann sé aghaidh ar go leor naimhde ar nós Doctor Brainhead agus Mother Brainhead. Teenager Robbie Shipton ...

Cosmic rays may play a role in triggering lightning on Earth, a new study suggests. | Credit: Jan Drahokoupil / 500px / Getty Images Cosmic rays may offer an out-of-this-world answer to a long ...

The surprising study by a team of Polish researchers analyzed 50 years worth of data and found that the intensity of global seismic activity ... the interactions of cosmic rays and Earth's ...
