Dynamical freezing can protect quantum information for near-cosmic timescales

Preserving quantum information is essential for the development of useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow the laws of thermodynamics, ultimately leading to a loss of information. Physicists have long known of a strange exception, called dynamic freezing, when quantum systems shaken at precisely tuned frequencies escape these laws. But for how long can this phenomenon delay thermodynamics?
