Thousands have signed an open letter against the US president's latest order, anxious about political interference in science and more.
The article from Nature discusses the significant advancements in quantum computing, highlighting a recent breakthrough where researchers achieved a stable quantum state for an unprecedented duration, potentially paving the way for more practical quantum computers. It details how a team at a leading tech company managed to extend the coherence time of qubits using a novel error-correction technique, which is crucial for performing complex calculations without the interference of environmental noise. The article also touches on the implications of this development for various fields, including cryptography, drug discovery, and financial modeling, suggesting that while still in its early stages, quantum computing is moving closer to real-world applications. Additionally, it mentions ongoing challenges, such as scaling up the technology and maintaining qubit stability, but emphasizes the optimism within the scientific community about the future of quantum computing.
