EU Project to Develop Energy-Conserving Optical Quantum Devices
ICFO announces start of project OPTOlogic OPTOlogic project to develop optical topological computing as a means to reduce energy consumption of electronic circuits. About 10 % of the world’s energy production is used to power electronic circuits that carry out logic operations for the global internet and in consumer devices. The EU-funded OPTOlogic project aims […]
Purdue University and DARPA Aim at Better Photon Detection
Quantum model unlocks new approach to single-photon detection Engineering a qubit system close to the point of a quantum phase transition could make single photons easier to detect, just as a giant release of steam could be used to detect a tiny disturbance to superheated water, Purdue University researchers say. (Purdue University illustration/Xueji Wang) To […]
Should Quantum Randomness Generation Be on Your Scope?
