Example Sentences

Even so, scientists have long viewed them as promising for quantum information and advanced photonics because they interact with light in unusual ways, remain stable for relatively long periods, and experience less disruption from their surroundings, which helps reduce decoherence.

From Science Daily

The faster the gate speed, the more computations can be performed before qubits fall out of their quantum state in a process called decoherence.

From MarketWatch

In real-world conditions, these systems are particularly vulnerable to energy loss and decoherence, a process in which quantum systems lose essential properties like entanglement and superposition, leading to reduced performance.

From Science Daily

“Because qubits are in a superposition of zero and one, they are very prone to errors and they are very prone to what is called decoherence, which means there could be noise, thermal fluctuations or many things that can collapse the state of the qubits,” Molignini told Salon in a video call.

From Salon

Could this nuclear environment play a role in so-called quantum decoherence?
