Material Discovery: Topological Materials Applied to Quantum Computing.
Material Discovery: Topological Materials Applied to Quantum Computing. U.S. Department of Energy, Berkeley National Laboratory. The realization of so-called topological materials — which exhibit exotic, defect-resistant properties and are expected to have applications in electronics, optics, quantum computing, and other fields — has opened up a new realm in materials discovery. Several of the hotly […]
Swiss Army Knife? No, But How About a Swiss Quantum Simulator Applicable to a Broad Class of Quantum Systems & Technology?
Swiss Army Knife? No, But How About a Swiss Quantum Simulator Applicable to a Broad Class of Quantum Systems & Technology? Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, March 21, 2019. Physicists at EPFL propose a new “quantum simulator”: a laser-based device that can be used to study a wide range of quantum systems. Studying it, the […]
Proving Quantum Dot Efficiency
Proving Quantum Dot Efficiency. Excerpt: Tiny, easy-to-produce particles, called quantum dots, may soon take the place of more expensive single crystal semiconductors in advanced electronics found in solar panels, camera sensors and medical imaging tools. Although quantum dots have begun to break into the consumer market – in the form of quantum dot TVs – […]
Size Matters When Exchanging Quantum Information
Quantum Physics. Niehls Bohr Institute: At the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, researchers have realized the swap of electron spins between distant quantum dots. The discovery brings us a step closer to future applications of quantum information, as the tiny dots have to leave enough room on the microchip for delicate control electrodes. […]
Quantum sensing method measures minuscule magnetic fields
A new way of measuring atomic-scale magnetic fields with great precision, not only up and down but sideways as well, has been developed by researchers at MIT. The new tool could be useful in applications as diverse as mapping the electrical impulses inside a firing neuron, characterizing new magnetic materials, and probing exotic quantum physical […]
Is Sydney, Australia, the Next Quantum Valley?
Is Sydney, Australia, the Next Quantum Valley? The U.S. has Silicon Valley. Canada has Ottawa’s Quantum Valley. Now Australia is looking to join the Valley of Valleys. Though initially reported by The Qubit Report under the topic, Sydney Quantum Academy, March 4, 2019, the spin is being put forth that such an academy could spawn […]
India Aims to Emulate China in Technological Reform, Quantum Computing
India Aims to Emulate China in Technological Reform. India’s Principal Scientific Adviser, K Vijay Raghavan, detailed nine science and technology missions with the goal of promoting India’s internal research and development. In comparing the country to the U.S. and China, India’s government has noted the “meteoric” increase in China’s research and development citations and abstracts. China’s […]
U.S. National Science Foundation Soliciting Proposals for Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes
U.S. National Science Foundation Soliciting Proposals for Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes. The Quantum Leap initiative augments a wide range of NSF investments in quantum information science and engineering. These efforts, combined with activities supported by other entities, including other government agencies and industry, indicate that the community of quantum information scientists and engineers is well-positioned […]
Korea, The Good One, Investing Just Under $450M, In Part for Quantum Computing and Quantum Sensing
Korea, The Good One, Investing Just Under $450M, In Part for Quantum Computing and Quantum Sensing. Moon Mi-ok, South Korea’s Vice Minister of Science and ICT, announced the country’s investments in disruptive technologies, this past week. Over the next ten years, data, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, amongst other disreuptive technologies, will be receiving upwards […]
Creating Tough and Resistant, Topological Qubits
Creating Tough and Resistant, Topological Qubits. Arguably, the topological qubit is considered the best quantum bit for maintaining given quantum information and is key to quantum computing moving ahead. Scientists at Purdue University believe they have developed a new research tool capable of probing interference of ‘quasiparticles’. These particles are borne of interaction of fundamental […]
