U. of Basel Effort: Quantum Tech. to Benefit From Ultrathin Semiconductors Connected to Superconductors
For the first time, University of Basel researchers have equipped an ultrathin semiconductor with superconducting contacts. These extremely thin materials with novel electronic and optical properties could pave the way for previously unimagined applications. Combined with superconductors, they are expected to give rise to new quantum phenomena and find use in quantum technology.

High-Temperature Superconductors Get Lanthanhum and Yttrium Added to Their List
A team led by Skoltech professor Artem R. Oganov studied the structure and properties of ternary hydrides of lanthanum and yttrium and showed that alloying
Researchers Continue the Quest for the Perfect Qubit
Quantum computers promise great advances in many fields – from cryptography to the simulation of protein folding. Yet, which physical system works best to build the underlying quantum bits is still an open question. Unlike regular bits in your computer, these so-called qubits cannot only take the values 0 and 1, but also mixtures of the two. While this potentially makes them very useful, they also become very unstable.
U. Minnesota Studying Exotic 2D Materials to Build Quantum Computers
Researchers uncover unique properties of a promising new superconductor A team of physicists led by the University of Minnesota has discovered that the unique superconducting
Benefit to Hybrid Quantum Systems: Physicists Heighten Photon, Magnon Excitation
A team of scientists from NUST MISIS and MIPT have developed and tested a new platform for realization of the ultra-strong photon-to-magnon coupling. The proposed system is on-chip and is based on thin-film hetero-structures with superconducting, ferromagnetic and insulating layers. This discovery solves a problem that has been on the agenda of research teams from different countries for the last 10 years, and opens new opportunities in implementing quantum technologies.
