← ScienceWhich consequence limits quantum computing fidelity utilizing entangled photons?
A)Decoherence collapses superposition of qubits✓
B)Photon polarization causes signal attenuation
C)Chromatic dispersion distorts pulse timing
D)Vacuum fluctuations increase photon scattering
💡 Explanation
Decoherence limits fidelity because environmental interactions disrupt the delicate quantum entanglement necessary for qubit superposition; this loss of entanglement prematurely collapses the quantum state. Therefore, quantum information is lost, rather than maintained by polarization or timing, because superposition is unstable.
