Sentences with phrase «superposition longer»

On the other hand, Cleland adds, the potential advantage of a mechanical system over an electronic system is that its qubits might intrinsically lose energy more slowly and thus remain in superposition longer, enabling them to perform more useful, complex calculations.

«The greatest hurdle in using quantum objects for computing is to preserve their delicate superpositions long enough to allow us to perform useful calculations,» said Andrea Morello, leader of the research team and a Program Manager in the ARC Centre for Quantum Computation & Communication Technology (CQC2T) at UNSW.

Not exact matches

The assaults that this most fundamental theory of reality makes on our intuition are legion: particles that exist as probabilistic wave functions in «superpositions» of multiple states or places, or at least seem to as long you don't look at them; «entangled» particles that influence each other over vast distances of space when you measure one of them.

The analog device must keep a quantum superposition intact long enough for the simulation to run its course without resorting to digital error correction.

«This phenomenon is a huge problem when constructing quantum computers, because it prevents quantum mechanical superposition states from being maintained long enough to be used for computing operations.»

But ultimately, he expects that qubit superposition states will last longer and be more «coherent» — which would mean that his computer's lower connectivity won't necessarily drag down its overall reliability in the long run.

Yet superposition can only last as long as nothing observes or measures the system otherwise it collapses to a single state.

In 2010, physicists put the largest system yet into a superposition: a 40 - micrometre - long strip of piezoelectric material, which expands and contracts in response to voltage changes.

In 2010, a group led by Andrew Cleland at the University of California, Santa Barbara, made a 0.06 - millimetre - long supercooled metal strip simultaneously vibrate and not vibrate, putting it into a quantum superposition of states.

The Vienna team investigated the concept of quantum superposition — the idea that if we do not know what the state of an object is, it is actually in all possible states simultaneously, as long as we don't look to check.

Upside down, kind of collage - y and I'm not exactly sure if Nicole Kidman's neck is really that long, or it is just a trick of the eyes with the superposition.
