Bin Yan, shown here, Nikolai Sinitsyn and Joseph Harris developed a new method that determines how much information is lost from a quantum system to decoherence and how much is preserved through information scrambling.

Quantum computers, devices that exploit quantum phenomena to perform computations, could eventually help tackle complex computational problems faster and more efficiently than classical computers. These devices are commonly based on basic units of information known as quantum bits, or […]
