University of La Plata Research Could Improve Quantum Information System Staying Power

Avoiding environmental losses in quantum information systems Excerpts and salient points ~ + Through new techniques for generating ‘exceptional points’ in quantum information systems, researchers have minimised the transitions through which they lose information to their surrounding environments. + Through new research published in EPJ D, M. Reboiro and colleagues at the University of La […]

3 Approaches Toward Quantum Computing Reality

Hot Qubits and Goldilocks Ions Read More… +  Due to their sensitivity, hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of qubits are required to produce low-error quantum set-ups that would revolutionize computing. Today, even the most sophisticated systems, such as Google’s Sycamore and IBM’s Raleigh, have just a few tens of qubits. +  Following are three […]

Further, Bigger, Disparate: Niehls Bohr Institute Scientists Entangle Big and Distant Object

Quantum entanglement realized between distant large objects A team of researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have succeeded in entangling two very different quantum objects. The result has several potential applications in ultra-precise sensing and quantum communication and is now published in Nature Physics.   Light propagates through the atomic cloud shown in the center and then falls onto the SiN membrane shown on the left. As a result of interaction with light the precession of atomic spins and vibration […]

Why Not? Estonia Hops on the Quantum Computing Wagon

Estonia joins EU cooperation framework on quantum communication Key points… +  Minister of Foreign Trade and IT Raul Siem (EKRE) signed the European Union’s declaration on cooperation framework on quantum communication infrastructure, agreeing to explore how to develop and deploy a highly secure data exchange infrastructure with other EU member states. “In the coming years, […]

Roadmap for Quantum Materials to be Co-Lead by ICN2

The ICN2 co-leads a roadmap on quantum materials Key points… +  The term “quantum materials” was introduced to highlight the exotic properties of unconventional superconductors, heavy-fermion systems (materials with unusual electronic and magnetic properties) and multifunctional oxides. More recently, the definition has broadened to cover all the materials that allow scientists and engineers to explore […]
