“There are a lot of different simulation methods that make different approximations, and they all provide slightly different results,” said Thomas Wolf. “The excitement is that this data can be used to unambiguously evaluate simulations.”

On July 8, 2025, physicists from Aalto University in Finland published a transmon qubit coherence dramatically surpassing previous scientifically published records. The millisecond coherence measurement marks a quantum leap in computational technology, with the previous maximum echo coherence measurements approaching 0.6 milliseconds.

The team shares what they believe is the world’s most electrically conductive organic molecule. Their discovery, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, opens up new possibilities for constructing smaller, more powerful computing devices at the molecular scale. Even better, the molecule is composed of chemical elements found in nature—mostly carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen.

The breakthrough – which the team published recently in the journal Nature Photonics – paves the way for fabricating optical memory and t...
