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 […]

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 […]

U.S. Academic Programs Gain More Steam; QuSTEAM Specifically

New Midwest universities QuSTEAM initiative to transform US quantum education A group of scientists from five universities across the Midwest will lead an effort to redesign quantum science education, working together with industry and national laboratories to develop a diverse, capable and effective quantum workforce. The rapidly evolving field of quantum information science will enable […]

Stampede at University of Wyoming to Discuss Quantum Entanglement; Dario Gill, Paul Dabbar as Panelists

UW Wyoming Blockchain Stampede Virtual Panel to Discuss Quantum Entanglement The third annual Wyoming Blockchain Stampede will have two new roundtable events to discuss “Quantum Entanglement — Emergent Impact.” The roundtables will explore economic diversity in Wyoming.  The virtual roundtable events, hosted by the University of Wyoming, are scheduled Friday, Sept. 25, from 8 a.m.-12:30 […]

Need Longer Quantum Memory? Control the Spin

UChicago scientists control single subatomic quantum memories in semiconductors Artistic rendering of the atomic structure of silicon carbide crystal showing an electron spin (purple sphere) entangled to a nuclear spin quantum register (orange arrows).  Illustration by Peter Allen Breakthrough holds major implications for the future of the quantum internet Quantum technologies have the potential to […]

Protecting The Present and Testing Quantum Computers With a “Noneffect” Butterfly

The Quantum Butterfly Noneffect Read More… +  The butterfly effect is well accepted in our everyday world, where classical physics describes systems above the atomic scale. But in the submicroscopic world where quantum mechanics reigns, different—and very strange—rules apply. Does the butterfly effect still hold true? If not, what happens instead? You could say reality […]

Quantum is Quirky, Especially When Magnetism Gets Involved

Quirky Response to Magnetism Presents Quantum Physics Mystery Magnetic topological insulators could be just right for making qubits, but this one doesn’t obey the rules Schematic diagram showing both the magnetism and the conductive behavior on the surface of MnBi2Te4. The magnetism points uniformly upward, as shown by the red arrows, and the surface electrons, […]

Georgia Institute of Technology Creating Nanoscale Quantum Devices
