RealFeedApp IBM cools quantum computer to 15 millikelvin
The company's modular cryogenic system reaches 15 millikelvin, far below the cosmic background radiation of 2.7 Kelvin. This extreme cold is required to maintain qubit coherence for calculations.
- Field
- hardware and chips
- What they did
- IBM developed a cooling system that reaches temperatures below 15 millikelvin, which is 180 times colder than deep space (2.7 kelvin).
- Why it matters
- This is required to keep qubits in a quantum superposition state for calculations, but the text does not specify a specific practical application for humans.
