Rice, Northwestern Universities Study Borophene; May Serve Quantum Information Sciences
IMAGE: Scientists at Rice and Northwestern universities have developed a technique to get images of two-dimensional borophene and match them with models. Polymorphic borophene shows promise for electronic, thermal, optical and other applications. The researchers also created a phase diagram, at right, with details about borophene polymorphs observed to date. Image Credit: Illustration by Xiaolong […]
Cold Atoms Exchange Information; Opens Up New Possibilities for Quantum Simulations
Cold Atoms Exchange Information; Opens Up New Possibilities for Quantum Simulations. Particles can interact directly by repelling or attracting each other. But how do particles that are far apart interact? In a paper published by Nature on April 3, researchers at the University of Chicago report that atoms can exchange information using intermediary particles. This is the first […]

U.S. Project Scaling Quantum Network from Local Area to Wide-Area. Quantum Goes the Distance. U.S. research team expands quantum network with successful long-distance entanglement experiment. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University, and DOE’s Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) are collaborating on an experiment that puts U.S. quantum networking research […]
Ethics and Artificial Intelligence; Paving the Way for Quantum Computing’s Ethics?
Ethics and Artificial Intelligence; Paving the Way for Quantum Computing’s Ethics? With science fiction coming to reality, as in the case of AI, ethical questions are making headlines. Are we too late or is the time right to hold talks and enable international norms, establish ethical AI principles, and develop governance over this powerful and […]

National University of Singapore and the Centre for Quantum Technologies Entangling Photons for Cybersecurity. New methods for photon wavelength production show promise in sending entangled photons through common commercial fiber optics networks. Singapore. Excerpts: “The technique works by carefully designing the photon source to create pairs of light particles with colors either side of a […]
Majorana Fermions; Generating More for More Quantum Bits @ Brookhaven National Laboratory
Majorana Fermions; Generating More for More Quantum Bits @ Brookhaven National Laboratory. Majorana Fermions. Full release: The combination of different phases of water—solid ice, liquid water, and water vapor—would require some effort to achieve experimentally. For instance, if you wanted to place ice next to vapor, you would have to continuously chill the water to […]
Arab World Looking to Quantum Computing to Keep Up with Cryptography and Biomedicine
Arab World Looking to Quantum Computing to Keep Up with Cryptography and Biomedicine. Investing in research and development is only the tip of the iceberg. A broader scope is being called for to keep from being left behind. Arab World. Extract: …to get to the next level of computing we’ll need machines with thousands, if […]
Exotic, Fundamental, Fractionalized; Promising use in Quantum Computing
Exotic, Fundamental, Fractionalized; Promising use in Quantum Computing. Rice University. Rice university physicists Matthew Foster and Seth Davis want to view a vexing quantum puzzle from an entirely new perspective. They just need the right vantage point and a place colder than deep space. “There’s a process in strongly interacting physics where fundamental particles, like […]
Two-Dimensional Arrays, Atomic-clocks, Quantum Simulation, Quantum Computing: All from Cooling and Trapping Atoms
Two-Dimensional Arrays, Atomic-clocks, Quantum Simulation, Quantum Computing: All from Cooling and Trapping Atoms. A report presented by nature.com consolidates results from several studies focusing on “the cooling and trapping of single strontium and ytterbium atoms in two-dimensional arrays.” The quantum computing nexus is that these arrays show promise in advancing the precision of optical atomic-clocks […]
Accurately Measuring Qubit States
Accurately Measuring Qubit State. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A new method allows the quantum state of atomic “qubits” — the basic unit of information in quantum computers — to be measured with 20 times less error than was previously possible, without losing any atoms. Accurately measuring qubit states, which are analogous to the one or […]
