Superconducting qubit relaxation rates switch up to 10 times per second, researchers found — 10,000x faster than expected. The culprit: the field was measuring qubits once per second when the action happens in milliseconds. A new paper from NTNU and the Niels Bohr Institute, using a commercial FP...
