U. Chicago & Northwestern U. Scientists Create Methodology to Tailor Qubits

In new step toward quantum tech, scientists synthesize ‘bright’ quantum bits Innovative step by UChicago, Northwestern scientists could boost computing, sensing Qubits (short for quantum bits) are often made of the same semiconducting materials as our everyday electronics. But an interdisciplinary team of physicists and chemists at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University has […]

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 […]
