Scientists are learning why quantum computers make mistakes. Quantum computers are very strong machines, but they are easily hurt by very small bits from space. These bits hit the computer chip and make bad energy. This bad energy breaks the computer's memory units, called qubits.
In the past, scientists made different walls to stop the bad energy. But the computers still had problems. Now, a team at Google found the real cause. The bad energy changes the rate of the qubits. When the rate changes, the qubits cannot follow the control signals. This makes many errors at the same time. The team hopes this new knowledge will help make better quantum computers in the future.
