Quantum computing breakthrough could make 'noise' — forces that disrupt calculations — a thing of the past

Scientists have discovered a groundbreaking method to shield quantum information from "noise" — and it could finally let us build practical quantum computers.

Quantum computers rely on quantum entanglement, the connection between the quantum properties of two particles that are shared instantaneously across time and space. This enables quantum computers to perform faster calculations than their traditional counterparts because they can process information in parallel rather than in sequence.
