If there is an obstacle that prevents the full development of quantum computing, it is that of the errors of the ‘qubits’, the ‘quantum bits’, responsible for storing the information and that, today, are unable to guarantee its integrity.

But a team of physicists led by Philipp Dumitrescu, a researcher at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute in New York, has found a way to make qubits much more stable. The solution is to shine a sequence of laser pulses based on the fibonacci numbers into atoms inside a quantum computer, creating a new stage …
