Correlated errors in superconducting qubits were distinguished, tracing sources to cosmic rays and vibrations of the cooler. Researchers at the Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, investigated these errors to improve qubit performance.
Qubit errors traced to two sources, cosmic rays, cooler vibrations
