Emergence of highly coherent two-level systems in a noisy and dense quantum network

Sandrine Gerber, Gabriel Aeppli

Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems (TLS), the quantum analogues of classical bits assuming binary values 0 or 1. They are useful to the extent to which superpositions of 0 and 1 persist despite a noisy environment. The standard prescr ...
