News MIT Researchers Unlock Exotic, Scalable Qubit by Chance

[Admin]

Researchers at MIT have achieved a new ten-second record for quantum coherence. Besides being resistant to external interference, the new qubit type - based on vibrating fermions - also shows promise in solving scalability problems in quantum computing.

Editor needed on aisle five -- stat!

...a new form of qubits, based on vibrating pairs of atoms -- also known as fermions. The team's work focused on investigating the behavior of fermions (essentially atoms with odd half-integer spins).

Fermions are not atoms. They're not pairs of atoms. They're subatomic particles.

... which raised questions of quantum entanglement, the state in which two particles are paired in such a way that forces influencing one qubit to produce the same changes within its pair.

This isn't what quantum entanglement is either.

Perhaps these advances will be used to crack Bitcoin's encryption sooner than expected after all.

And why is that important?
