Caltech Scientists Use Sound to Remember Quantum Information

Caltech scientists use sound to remember quantum information

Pasadena CA (SPX) Aug 15, 2025 While conventional computers store information in the form of bits, fundamental pieces of logic that take a value of either 0 or 1, quantum computers are based on qubits. These can have a state that is simultaneously both 0 and 1. This odd property, a quirk of quantum physics known as superposition, lies at the heart of quantum computing's promise to ultimately solve problems that are intractabl

Caltech researchers use sound to extend quantum data storage 30x longer

In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn’t how fast calculations can be done—it’s how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place. While superconducting qubits, the workhorses of many quantum systems, can process information at lightning speed, their ability to store it is far from ideal. That’s where a new approach from Caltech researchers steps in, using sound to give quantu…
