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 metal Niobium diselenide (NbSe2) is more resilient when used as a very thin layer. The above diagram depicts the different s-, p-, and d-wave superconducting states in the metal. Photo […]
Part Light and Part Matter, an Odd Quantum State for Quantum Devices
Researchers develop unique process for producing light-matter mixture Annular holes in a thin gold film filled with silicon dioxide enable ultrastrong coupling between light and atomic vibrations. This structure provides opportunities to probe molecules interacting with quantum vacuum fluctuations and develop novel optoelectronic devices.

Global Quantum Leap Project to be Lead by U. of Minnesota
University of Minnesota to lead NSF-funded ‘Global Quantum Leap’ The University of Minnesota announced today that it will lead a five-year, $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create an international “network-of-networks” that seeks to accelerate the discovery and development of quantum information systems. Quantum sciences are key to creating the next […]
No Matter the Age, Learning is Always Possible, Even When the Subject is Quantum Entanglement
No Matter the Age, Learning is Always Possible, Even When the Subject is Quantum Entanglement Albert Einstein believed life is a continuous process of learning; from beginning to end. He did not state quantum mechanics, theory, or physics were excluded. Part of why this site was started was an intellectual curiosity as to the underlayment […]
