Discarded particles dubbed 'neglectons' may unlock universal quantum computing
Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems far beyond the reach of today's fastest supercomputers. But today's machines are notoriously fragile. The quantum bits, or "qubits," that store and process information are easily disrupted by their environment, leading to errors that quickly accumulate.
‘Neglected’ particles that could rescue quantum computing
Key to the researchers’ discovery were rescued particles they dubbed “neglectons,” a name that reflects both their overlooked status and their newfound importance.
