Sound waves extend quantum memory storage time by 30x
Sound waves boost quantum memory storage time by 30x.
Why it matters
- Quantum memory storage time extended by 30x using sound waves.
- Solves a major challenge in quantum computing.
- Published in Nature Physics.
By the numbers
- Storage time extended up to 30 times at gigahertz frequencies.
The big picture
- Sound-based quantum memory enables compact, long-lived storage with potential for scalable integration on chips.
Caveats
- Current system needs faster interaction rates for practical use.
- Team aims to improve interaction rates by 3–10 times.
What’s next
- Next steps: Increase interaction rates for faster operation.
