Zurich Instruments SHFPPC Parametric Pump Controller

Zurich Instruments introduces qubit amplifier controller

Zurich Instruments offers Quantum Computing researchers a fast track to unleashing the power of parametric amplification for qubit readout. While being critical to achieve the high measurement speed and low error rates needed for quantum […]

A particle of light from the single photon source (below) is stored in the vapor cell (above). A simultaneously emitted second photon is revealed by a detector (right), which triggers the control laser pulse and thereby initiates the storage process.

Quantum network nodes with warm atoms

Physicists at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have now developed a network node for quantum communication networks that can store single photons in a vapor cell and pass them on later. In quantum communication networks, […]

EPFL scientists have built a compact waveguide amplifier by successfully incorporating rare-earth ions into integrated photonic circuits.

Breakthrough in integrated photonics

Scientists at EPFL, Switzerland, have built a compact waveguide amplifier by successfully incorporating rare-earth ions into integrated photonic circuits. The device produces record output power compared to commercial fiber amplifiers, a first in the development […]

ORCA Computing: a new Quantum Computer in the UK

ORCA Computing is working with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to develop future data processing capabilities. In a year-long programme of activity, MoD will use ORCA’s PT-1 model, the first computer of its kind […]
