Why IBM quantum computers are colder than space
IBM’s superconducting quantum computers don’t just require advanced quantum processors, they also rely on highly specialized systems to keep those processors operating in an environment that is stable, protected, and colder than the furthest reaches of outer space. As quantum computers scale, the infrastructure that houses, cools, and operates them must advance as well—delivering systems that are easier to maintain, upgrade, and link with other systems. In this episode of The Coherence Times,

Researchers Find Quantum Data Loss Inequality Has Limits
Does information always degrade predictably when passing through combined quantum systems. Recent calculations demonstrate that, contrary to classical expectations, the rate of information loss in these systems cannot be determined solely from the individual components, specifically violating the tensorization property of the strong data processing inequality for certain quantum divergences. This means ηD(E1 ⊗E2, σ1 ⊗σ2) > max ηD(E1, σ1), ηD(E2, σ2) for specific quantum divergences, chall...
