Physicists at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich, together with colleagues at Saarland University, have successfully demonstrated the transport of an entangled state between an atom and a photon via an optic fiber over a distance of […]

Designing lasers based on quantum physics

A research team, coordinated by Germán J. de Valcárcel Gonzalvo, Professor at the University of Valencia, has developed a new theory —the coherent master equation— that describes the behavior of pulsed lasers based on fast […]

New method to measure photocurrents flow in 2D

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new method to measure how photocurrents flow in a 2D material. That could have implications for developing quantum sensors and next-generation electronics. By using quantum sensors […]

A silicon quantum-dot-coupled nuclear spin qubit

Single nuclear spins in the solid state are a potential future platform for quantum computing, because they possess long coherence times and offer excellent controllability. Measurements can be performed via localized electrons, such as those […]

Precise measurements find a crack in universal physics

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder have carried out a study, recently featured in Physical Review Letters, aimed at testing the limits to universality in an […]

How to verify that quantum chips are computing correctly

In a step toward practical quantum computing, researchers from MIT, Zapata Computing and Google have designed a system that can verify when quantum chips have accurately performed complex computations that classical computers can’t. Noisy Intermediate […]

New Quantum loop allows testing of spooky action at 52 miles

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago launched a new testbed for quantum communication experiments. The Argonne quantum loop consists of a pair of connected 26-mile fiber-optic cables as 52 total […]

Unexpected twist in a quantum system

Physicists at ETH Zurich have observed a surprising twist in a quantum system caused by the interplay between energy dissipation and coherent quantum dynamics. To explain it, they found a concrete analogy to mechanics. The […]

New approach for controlling qubits via microwave pulses

Researchers at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have now developed a new method for ion-trapped qubits under vacuum by using electric fields above a chip structure. Qubit operations are implemented by sending microwave […]

IBM doubles its Quantum Computing power

IBM announced at CES 2020 that its newest 28-qubit quantum computer, Raleigh, achieved the company’s goal of doubling its Quantum Volume (IBM names its systems by city names). Raleigh reached a Quantum Volume of 32 […]
