Long-range quantum entanglement needs three-way interaction

A new theorem from researchers at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project, Tokyo, and Keio University, Yokohama, provides an understanding of what types of long-range quantum entanglement survive at non-zero temperatures, revealing a fundamental […]

The set of more capable (MC) quantum channels, i.e. channels with zero complementary quantum capacity

Detecting positive quantum capacities of quantum channels

Determining whether a noisy quantum channel can be used to reliably transmit quantum information is a challenging problem in quantum information theory. This is because it requires computation of the channel’s coherent information for an […]

Single photon emitter takes a step closer to quantum tech

Developing non-classical light sources that can emit, on-demand, exactly one photon at a time is one of the main requirements of quantum technologies. But although the first demonstration of such a “single photon emitter”, or […]

The quest for an ideal qubit

A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has announced the creation of a new qubit platform formed by freezing neon gas into a solid at very low temperatures, spraying […]

QC Ware and Itaú Unibanco collaboration

Itaú Unibanco, the largest bank in Latin America, and QC Ware, a leading quantum software and services company, today announced the first results of a collaboration that is exploring quantum computing algorithms for the banking […]

2 × N plug-and-play (PnP) twin-field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) network scheme.

2×N twin-field quantum key distribution network configuration

Developing Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) has been recently directed toward distance extension and network expansion for real-world secure communications. Considering a recent report on a quantum communication network over 4,600 km, it seems that QKD networks […]

Fault-tolerant quantum computer memory in diamond

A research team from Yokohama National University is exploring quantum memory that is resilient against operational or environmental errors. To scale up a quantum computer based on superconducting qubits, scientists need to operate under a […]

Charge processes of the SnV− centre.

Coherence of a charge stabilised tin-vacancy spin in diamond

Quantum information processing (QIP) with solid state spin qubits strongly depends on the efficient initialisation of the qubit’s desired charge state. While the negatively charged tin-vacancy (SnV−) centre in diamond has emerged as an excellent […]

Revisiting Quantum Mechanics foundations

Since the beginning of quantum physics, how light moves and interacts with matter around it has mostly been described and understood mathematically through the lens of its energy. In 1900, Max Planck used energy to […]

LIGENTEC opens R&D Centre in France

Lausanne, Switzerland and Corbeil-Essones, France – April 27, 2022 LIGENTEC SA, the leading supplier of high performance, low loss, silicon nitride Photonic Integrated Circuits established a R&D Centre in France. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are […]

New approach to detect the elusive Unruh effect

A new approach could make it possible detect the elusive Unruh effect in hours, rather than billions of years. Since the 1970s when it was first proposed, the Unruh effect has eluded detection, mainly because […]
