# Heat can't break this semiconductor's quantum vibrations — here's why - slug: heat-cant-break-this-semiconductors-quantum-vibrations-heres-why - date: 2026-03-24 - category: Quantum Computing Cubic boron arsenide has set a record for how long quantum vibrations persist in a semiconductor — and the reason why is a small lecture in the physics of heat and noise. A team at Rice University, working with collaborators at the University of Houston and Texas Tech University, reported March ... ---
