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.

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 ...

I won't spend time highlighting any particular zombie theory about the Sun or cosmic rays. It is more useful ... about 0.1% in an 11-year solar sunspot activity. The current most accurate TSI ...

is called "Planck's constant", or one quantum of energy and is actually quite a small value, so we do not usually notice this uncertainty constraint in everyday activities.) Now in thinking about ...

Correlations between changes in cosmic ray intensity and earthquakes are not apparent in location-specific analyses. They only appear when seismic activity is taken into account on a global scale.

The key to this technique is a “cosmic ray event,” a burst of energetic ... that the highly energetic particles produced by solar activity and other astrophysical sources like supernovas ...

Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory of "quantum gravity" and to solving some major cosmic mysteries.

As superconducting quantum computing chips continue to increase in size, and as the algorithms increase in complexity, the sorts of ‘computer crashes’ generated by cosmic ray muons could ...

The principal cause of recent climate change is not cosmic rays but human activities, a group of scientists says. They say an article last year linking cosmic rays and changes in temperature was ...

Scientists operating at the quantum level struggle with the pervasive challenge of cosmic rays, which are high ... and research activities will encompass fundamental science, including studies ...

Joining Multiverse Computing in the Next-Gen Computing category of the EIC Scaling Club are, among others, photonics startup QuiX Quantum, cosmic ray 3D-imaging company Gscan, and Dispelix ...
