Helping Japan Reach the Frontiers of Quantum Technology Research
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology has launched the OIST Center for Quantum Technologies (OQT). The center will drive research and innovation for the Quantum Technology International Collaboration Hub.
New Toolbox for Elucidating Future Quantum Materials Has Been Achieved…
This work demonstrates a new toolbox for the analysis of neutron scattering data and might foster a deeper understanding of quantum materials that are relevant for technological use.
U. Innsbruck Research Opens up New Possibilities for Using Levitated Particles as Sensors
Sensing with levitated nanoparticles has so far been limited by the precision of position measurements. Researchers at the Department of Experimental Physics of the University of Innsbruck, Austria, have now demonstrated a new technique that boosts the efficiency with which the position of a sub-micron levitated object is detected. The new technique demonstrated by Tracy Northup, a professor at the University of Innsbruck, and her team resolves this limitation by replacing the laser beam with the light of the particle reflected by a mirror.
Controlled for First Time, Quantum Phenomenon Could Suggest Avenues for Technology
University of Chicago scientists have been able to create a new kind of quantum object at will in the laboratory: “domain walls.” The discovery can help researchers better understand exotic quantum particles—and could suggest avenues for new technology in the future, such as quantum electronics or quantum memory… “It’s kind of like a sand dune in the desert—it’s made up of sand, but the dune acts like an object that behaves differently from individual grains of sand,” said Ph.D. student Kai-Xuan Yao, the first author of the study…

Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute Develop Quantum Protocol Accelerating Quantum Tasks to Theoretical Speed Limits
New Approach to Information Transfer Reaches Quantum Speed Limit In a new quantum protocol, groups of quantum entangled qubits (red dots) recruit more qubits (blue dots) at each step to help rapidly move information from one spot to another. Since more qubits are involved at each step, the protocol creates a snowball effect that achieves […]
Need Ultrafast Information Processing? Try Topological Materials for Ultrafast Spintronics
The laws of quantum physics rule the microcosm. They determine, for example, how easily electrons move through a crystal and thus whether the material is a metal, a semiconductor or an insulator. Quantum physics may lead to exotic properties in certain materials: In so-called topological insulators, only the electrons that can occupy some specific quantum states are free to move like massless particles on the surface, while this mobility is completely absent for electrons in the bulk.

Time, Life, and Quantum Physics: University of Surrey to Research the Interconnection
The University of Surrey has received its largest-ever philanthropic grant, funded by the John Templeton Foundation and worth US$3m (£2.1m), to lead a major new research project. The project will focus on the fundamental nature of time and its potential to reveal both scientific and philosophical insights into the quantum world – whose implications for […]
