Researchers at Stanford University have observed the disappearance of a single phonon in real time for the first time. The findings, published in Science on September 17, involve using a superconducting qubit to monitor a microscopic mechanical resonator. This advancement may help address key challenges in quantum computing by identifying computational errors.
