Are Quantum Computers Over Hyped?

“Quantum Computers” are the supposed ‘computers of the future’. Capable of out-calculating even the fastest current systems, this bleeding… Continue reading on Quantum Computing »

Future-proofing critical national infrastructure systems

In order to create resilient systems in our critical national infrastructure, we cannot allow for single point failures. And yet, our most commonly used satellite navigation system has vulnerabilities which allow exactly this. System weaknesses […]

LIGENTEC joins Swiss Quantum Hub

We are delighted to announce that LIGENTEC SA, leader in low loss Silicon Nitride Integrated Photonics, has become a member of the Swiss Quantum Hub (SQH). Swiss based LIGENTEC provides custom specific integrated photonics circuits for […]

Observation of triple-point Fermions

Fermions can either exist as individual particles, like electrons, protons, and neutrons, or as so-called quasiparticles. The latter are composed of many components, but behave like a single fermion particle. What characterises fermions is that […]

Cold chips can control qubits

Cold chips can control qubits

QuTech has resolved a major issue on the road towards a working large-scale quantum computer. QuTech, together with Intel, has designed and fabricated an integrated circuit that can operate at extremely low temperatures when controlling […]

Light meets superconducting circuits

Researchers in the group of Professor Tobias J. Kippenberg at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences have now developed a novel approach that uses light to read out superconducting circuits, thus overcoming the scaling challenges of […]
