Quantum Memory Record Broken in Quest for Super-Fast Computers
Most record-breakers eke ahead of previous record-holders by fractions of a second. This was not one of those cases.
Before now, the record for storing quantum data at room temperature was two seconds. One. Two. Done. But researchers in Canada announced they've now hit 39 minutes. That's right---they've raised the bar from 2 seconds to 39 minutes.
Today's quantum computers have to be frozen to function---negative 452.2 degrees Fahrenheit---so the challenge was to store the information when t
