Acoustic phonons enhance on-chip quantum transport/ qubit coherence times shielding sensitive qubits from decoherence

"EM information transfer between qubits leaves sensitive states vulnerable to environmental noise/ energy dissipation... overcome coupling quantum information to high-frequency acoustic waves inside solid-state materials... phonon mechanical nature decouples stored quantum states from surrounding electrical interference... this hybrid acoustic- quantum architecture provides a practical methodology for mitigating decoherence bottlenecks and scaling robust integrated quantum computing systems"
