Securing the “internet of things” in the quantum age

MIT researchers have developed a novel cryptography circuit that can be used to protect low-power “internet of things” (IoT) devices in the coming age of quantum computing. Quantum computers can in principle execute calculations that today are practically impossible for classical computers. Bringing quantum computers online and to market could one day enable advances in […]

Entangling Two Photons Serving Two Distinct Purposes

Entangling Two Photons Serving Two Distinct Purposes.  Diligent efforts at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology have produced entangled photons of two different wavelengths.  The image below and the following explanation sum up this creative device. By carefully engineering the geometry of a micrometer-scale, ring-shaped resonator, researchers at NIST produced pairs of entangled photons […]

Universal Entangler: Negates Re-wiring, Choose Any Code

Universal Entangler: Negates Re-wiring, Choose Any Code.  For the relatively few quantum computers in use today, the complexity of processing a quantum computing algorithm is intensive – to set up!  Now, thanks to a research team at Yale University, the process should be easier with their new entangling device.  Dubbed the “Universal Entangler”, the device is […]

Speed Reading Quantum Memory

Speed Reading Quantum Memory.  Researchers in Finland have developed a method to increase the read-rate from quantum bits, or qubits.  Typically, to extract any useful information from qubits, the method that reads information from qubits must take the least amount of time as possible, allowing as few errors as possible.  Decoherence, when qubits lose their quantum […]

Unique, Practical, Scalable: Entangled Photons on a Chip

Unique, Practical, Scalable: Entangled Photons on a Chip.  Developing practical, large-scale, precisely controllable quantum computing systems is the primary technological challenge for quantum science and technology.  A relatively new device on the scene is a “quantum optical micro-comb.”  These devices provide a “unique, practical and scalable framework for quantum signal and information processing.” Researchers at Swinburne […]

Superconductivity from Kagome Lattice; ‘Flat Band’ Electrons

Quantinuum QC

Superconductivity from Kagome Lattice; ‘Flat Band’ Electrons.  Princeton University scientists, using the latest in scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S) to study electron behaviors in kagome latticed crystal, showed that placing a “kagome magnet in a high magnetic field causes the direction of magnetism to reverse.”  M. Zahid Hasan, Professor of Physics at Princeton University, […]

QST’s Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Robert Thew, from the University […]

Missing Link for Quantum Dots Found: Quantum Memory

Missing Link for Quantum Dots Found: Quantum Memory.  Researchers at the University of Cambridge, St. John’s College, have discovered a method to control electron interaction with nuclear spins.  “Quantum dots are crystals made up of thousands of atoms, and each of these atoms interacts magnetically with the trapped electron.  If left alone to its own […]
