Coherence time is a measure of the time duration over which a quantum system maintains its quantum coherence. In quantum mechanics, coherence refers to the ability of a quantum state to exhibit interference effects, which is crucial for many quantum phenomena and applications, such as quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum optics.
It takes time for the quantum state to evolve. So in order to have a deep quantum circuit, we need longer coherence times.
