Scientists Preserve Quantum Entanglement at Room Temperature

The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast

Show Notes

Researchers in China have found a way to preserve quantum entanglement at room temperature using color centers in silicon carbide.

By transferring quantum information from electrons to nearby atomic nuclei with a SWAP gate, they extended the quantum state’s lifetime by up to 240 times. The technique could help create more stable quantum memories and advance quantum computers and ultra-precise sensors without extreme cooling.
