A wearable brain scanner is being used, for the first time, to investigate the brain activity in elderly people whilst driving a car. Research led by the University of Nottingham and funded by the UK […]
Squeezed light sources are a fundamental building block of photonic technologies for quantum information processing. Squeezing is an essential resource for quantum sensing and a wide range of quantum computing algorithms. Recently, much effort has […]
A detector made from superconducting qubits could allow researchers to search for dark matter particles 1000 times faster than other techniques can. Dark matter particles, such as axions and hidden photons, are theorized to occasionally […]
Atomionics, a Singapore-based startup which develops quantum sensors that enable navigation without GPS, has raised S$2.5 million in seed funding led by Wavemaker Partners, in partnership with SGInnovate and Cap Vista. Atomionics was founded in […]
The detection of nuclear spins using individual electron spins has enabled diverse opportunities in quantum sensing and quantum information processing. Proof-of-principle experiments have demonstrated atomic-scale imaging of nuclear-spin samples and controlled multi-qubit registers. However, to […]
Quantum systems are promising candidates for sensing of weak signals as they can be highly sensitive to external perturbations, thus providing excellent performance when estimating parameters of external fields. However, when trying to detect weak […]
Our everyday reliance on navigation systems is often hugely underestimated, as is the dependence of services on Global Positioning System (GPS), so much so that it has now become known as the ‘invisible utility’. Seven […]
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba demonstrated second-order nonlinear optical effects in diamonds by taking advantage of internal color center defects that break inversion symmetry of diamond crystal. Previously, scientists thought that the inversion-symmetric nature […]
A research team at NUST MISIS, Russian Quantum Center and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, has created a quantum sensor that grants access to measurement and manipulation of individual two-level defects in qubits. A leading qubit technology […]
Scientists has tuned a quantum dot so that it can measure ultra-cold temperatures without the need for direct electrical connections to the outside world. A cryogenic quantum dot thermometer is calibrated and operated using only […]
