- Researchers have found that ionising radiation limits the coherence time of superconducting qubits, and have quantitively measured this effect for the first time. Their results warn that future quantum computers will need some kind of radiation shielding in order to maintain performance. https://www.snippetscience.com/cosmic-rays-and-ionising-radiation-could-soon-be-a-problem-for-quantum-computing 202 comments technews
