Physicists Use Sound Waves to Significantly Extend Quantum Information Coherence in Qubits

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have demonstrated a novel method using a steady stream of sound waves to shield fragile quantum bits (qubits) from environmental noise. This breakthrough nearly triples the duration for which qubits can hold information, paving the way for more robust sound-based quantum networks on chips and hybrid quantum systems.
