Rapid development of quantum materials and devices is being requested by the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Q-AMASE-i initiative. The types of materials sought are for “novel quantum technologies”, topological insulators, and superconducting materials, to specify several. The NSF anticipates awarding up to $25M. Interested? Proposal interest must be in no later than September 17, 2018, with a final proposal due date of November 5, 2018.

Tokyo Institute of Technology researchers have matched theory to observation and thus have achieved a “comprehensive understanding of the coherent control of coherent optical phonons.” The usefulness of which is geared toward quantum computing memory systems as well as materials science and superconductivity.
Topological Superconductor Wanted Decoherence, the inability of photons to maintain superposition (ergo, being unable to retain usefulness to quantum computing), is a major hurdle in
