Breakthrough in Shielding Quantum Information from Noise

This new approach could lead to more stable quantum networks and powerful computation.

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications. Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in collaboration with Huzhou University, China have unveiled a novel technique to protect quantum information from noise. This breakthrough introduces a new approach to digitising quantum information using discrete topological observables. This paves the way for more robust quantum communication networks and computation.

Excerpt from the Wits media release. “This breakthrough could be used to overcome noise in quantum computers as well as global quantum networks, for the next generation of quantum technologies. It can be especially valuable in creating advanced medical imaging technologies and more powerful artificial intelligence systems harnessing entanglement,” says Forbes.
