Cosmic rays future fixation for quantum computing

The researchers have been analyzing the error rectification over the Quantum processor of Google and have claimed to notice an odd phenomenon. This prodigy is all about the complete error-correction scheme that would episodically fall badly. Thus, the experts have sealed this up to background radiation, which is an amalgamation of the cosmic rays and …

Colossal dust storm has engulfed the entire red planet in thick haze

Colossal dust storm has engulfed the entire red planet in thick haze

Our planet has seen a number of pretty devastating dust storms in the history, however, not even one of the storms could envelop the entire planet since it would require a great amount of momentum and extremely unusual weather conditions to even initiate such a colossal dust storm. On the other hand, our neighbor planet …
