I mean this is how i see it

Professor Biercuk highlighted the challenges of making predictions in a quantum world: "Humans routinely employ predictive techniques in our daily experience; for instance, when we play tennis we predict where the ball will end up based on observations of the airborne ball," he said.

"This works because the rules that govern how the ball will move, like gravity, are regular and known. But what if the rules changed randomly while the ball was on its way to you? In that case it's next to impossible to predict the future behavior of that ball.

"And yet this situation is exactly what we had to deal with because the disintegration of quantum systems is random. Moreover, in the quantum realm observation erases quantumness, so our team needed to be able to guess how and when the system would randomly break.

alwyn:
and this is how my psychology teacher kind of explained things to me like that personalities are a constant. But how much information of controlled variables does this program they have made actually take before making a prediction. 
alwyn:
The predictions were remarkably accurate, allowing the team to use their guesses preemptively to compensate for the anticipated changes.Doing this in real time allowed the team to prevent the disintegration of the quantum character, extending the useful lifetime of the qubits.Read more at: https://phys.org/news/2017-01-quantum-future-literally.html#jCp
