This new qubit could be 100 times less error-prone in superfluid quantum computer breakthrough

Written and edited by the WorldPing NewsdeskPublished Updated Original reporting: ScienceDaily

What happened

A proposed qubit made with superfluid helium could cut quantum computing error rates by around 100 times by shielding quantum information from common forms of electromagnetic noise.
