For the Future of Quantum Technology

“BeyondC research project with partners from Austria and Germany starts in March The recently granted collaboration project “Quantum Information Systems Beyond Classical Capabilities (BeyondC)” coordinated by the University of Vienna will exploit the unique features of quantum science to go …

Graphene Quantum Dots for Single Electron Transistors

“Scientists from the Higher School of Economics, Manchester University, the Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology have developed a novel technology, which combines the fabrication procedures of planar and vertical heterostructures in …

High-speed 3D printer for high-performance plastics

“The additive manufacture of large-volume plastic components is a time-consuming undertaking. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU have now developed Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (SEAM), a system and process that is eight times faster …

Immunising quantum computers against errors

“Researchers at ETH Zurich have used trapped calcium ions to demonstrate a new method for making quantum computers immune to errors. To do so, they created a periodic oscillatory state of an ion that circumvents the usual limits to measurement …

Ion experiment aces quantum scrambling test

“Scientists check whether information is lost or merely hidden inside a small quantum computer. Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute have implemented an experimental test for quantum scrambling, a chaotic shuffling of the information stored among a collection of quantum …

Light From an Exotic Crystal Semiconductor Could Lead to Better Solar Cells
