Two atoms, swaying in sync on the waves of noise, preserved quantum information for a record 10.5 hours.

In theory, a qubit lives a million years, but in practice lasted an hour. Two ytterbium ions, laser-cooled, held out for over 10 hours. They were made to "feel" interference in sync — like bobbers on waves. This trick paves the way to reliable quantum computers.

🎯 If a quantum operation took one microsecond, 36 billion such operations could be performed in 10 hours without a single error.

🎬 Such stable memory is reminiscent of the computational core from the novel "The Quantum Thief," capable of storing a personality forever.
