Quantum computers must be cooled to extremely low temperatures to minimize vibrations and prevent errors.
So far, chip-based systems have been limited to inefficient and slow cooling methods.
Now, a team of researchers at MIT and MIT Lincoln Laboratory has implemented a much faster and more energy-efficient method for cooling photonic chip-based quantum computers.
Their approach achieved cooling to about 10 times below the limit of standard laser cooling.
Key to this te…

Efficient cooling method could enable chip-based trapped-ion quantum computers
Researchers demonstrated a new method of cooling trapped ions using chip-based systems, which could enable more stable and scalable quantum computers and quantum sensors.

I've somehow managed to get the Android Studio ide bits to find all the imported packages/classes but the compiler can't. Aka the exact opposite of how life in Eclipse went 20 years ago. Such a troubling toolchain.
