WorldPingSo far, quantum computers have been held back by their extreme sensitivity to errors and external disturbances.
The longer a quantum operation takes, the greater the risk of computational errors.
Research findings and mission results set the evidence base that policy, funding and later discoveries build on.

WorldPingWithin tiny halos of light clinging to a vanishingly thin wisp of optical fiber, scientist Jongmin Lee guides atoms like marbles through a narrow pipe. Rock the fiber and the atoms shift side by side; they just don't fall off.
