CERN Scientists Create First Antimatter Qubit, Maintaining Quantum Coherence for Record 50 Seconds
Scientists from CERN’s BASE experiment (Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment) have, for the first time, successfully created and stabilized a quantum bit formed from an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart of the proton, possessing an opposite electric charge. Remarkably, the team managed to maintain the particle in a coherent quantum state—where its spin orientation oscillated smoothly between two…
