At the core of these advancements are qubits, the fundamental units of information in quantum systems, much like bits in conventional computing.<\/p>\n
Unlike classical systems that use electrical pulses or laser beams to transmit data, quantum communication leverages individual photons. This makes the transmission of data virtually impossible to intercept, paving the way for ultra-secure communication channels.<\/p>\n
Qubits that can be controlled or read using light are essential in this realm, as they are able to absorb, process, and emit quantum information via photons.<\/p>\n
However, developing stable qubits that can store data long enough to be useful in real-world applications remains a key challenge in the quest to build scalable quantum computers<\/a>.<\/p>\n A major obstacle in quantum computing is increasing the coherence time\u2014the period during which a qubit can maintain stable quantum states.<\/p>\n The longer this time, the more effective the qubits are at storing and processing information. Extending this coherence time is essential for making quantum computing viable on a larger scale.<\/p>\nEnhancing qubit stability<\/h3>\n
