Decoherence: Why Qubits Are Kept in Isolation

In this Pathway, you will learn how decoherence causes qubits to lose coherence through environmental interference, making isolation crucial for stable quantum computing performance.

After completing this Pathway, you will be able to:

1. Explain decoherence and its causes in quantum systems
2. Identify techniques to maintain qubit stability through cooling, shielding, and isolation
