What plagues quantum upscaling? Most quantum computing devices are dependent on using complex physical phenomena that are either very short-lived (~10-12 seconds) and/or only survive at ultra-low temperatures (e.g., 10-3 ...
Scientists in Finland have developed a nanodevice that can measure the absolute power of microwave radiation down to the femtowatt level at ultra-low temperatures—a scale trillion times lower than routinely used in verifiable ...
