However, achieving both stability and distinguishability remains difficult. Recovering information from a quantum system depends on how well its quantum states can be distinguished, a property tied to orthogonality. Because no two Gaussian states (a widely studied class of quantum states) are orthogonal, some level of error is unavoidable when trying to tell them apart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIT and University of Ferrara researchers created a mathematical blueprint for designing distinguishable non-Gaussian quantum states.
