Building a Quantum Computer, One Fragile Qubit at a Time

Quanta Magazine is reporting on the challenge of building a quantum computer, one fragile qubit at a time. The piece notes that nearly all modern computers — from dishwasher microcontrollers to AI hardware — rely on silicon transistors that reliably toggle between zero and one. Qubits, the quantum equivalent, are far more delicate, and the article looks at what it takes to make them stable enough to actually compute.
