SNOLAB researchers have completed material assays to project radiation interference levels for sensitive qubit measurements. By identifying and quantifying radiation sources, the team aims to mitigate environmental noise that currently limits quantum coherence times. This research is critical for developing the high-purity environments required for next-generation quantum hardware. The findings offer a roadmap for material selection in future quantum sensor and processor designs. How significant is environmental radiation as a barrier to scaling quantum systems?
