"optical control over solid-state qubits thwarted by expected quantum oscillations rapidly decaying at higher laser intensities, caused by transient acoustic phonons (lattice vibrations) interacting with qubits... overcome tuning laser to specific high-energy thresholds, allowing quantum dots to again exhibit stable, continuous quantum state flipping... high-speed, highly stable, high-fidelity, fault-tolerant, mass-producible semiconductors/ optical logic gates... silicon-based quantum computers"
