Published in Nature Communications: Compromise-free scaling of qubit speed and coherence

Across various qubit platforms, a common trade-off persists: increasing coherence comes at the cost of operational speed, reflecting the notion that protecting a qubit from its noisy surroundings also limits control over it. This…
