In 2018, MIT scientists led by Pablo Jarillo-Herrero and Yuan Cao discovered that when two sheets of graphene are stacked together at a slightly offset “magic angle”, the new twisted graphene structure can become either an insulator,
Researchers from the University of Basel, the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) and University of Hanover have succeeded in creating strong coupling between quantum systems over a great distance. They accomplished this with a novel method
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology in Hefei and Wuhan University in China have demonstrated SiC can boast some of the quantum merits of diamond (nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers) with the additional advantage of
A group of researchers based at The City College of New York (CCNY) provide new insights on the dynamics of spin thermalization at the nanoscale. Understanding why this happens and how it can be controlled is presently at
A discovery that long eluded physicists has been detected in a laboratory at Princeton. A team of physicists detected superconducting currents — the flow of electrons without wasting energy — along the exterior edge of
As the search continues for useful applications of noisy intermediate scale quantum devices, variational simulations of fermionic systems remain one of the most promising directions. A team at Google AI Quantum has performed a series
A team of researchers at Microsoft discovered a breakthrough in two common problems that have been open for over twenty years. Specifically, the team revisited the question of the largest possible quantum speedups for some important classes of
Archer Minerals has signed a partnership with IBM to help advance work underway in developing a quantum qubit processor for wide-scale adoption of the technology. Archer becomes hence the first Australian company to develop a quantum
A team of researchers led by IMDEA Nanociencia, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and Universidad Complutense de Madrid have presented a new strategy to fabricate quasi-metallic 1-D polymers with atomic precision by exploiting topological order and
Researchers in at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have shown that a single atom can function as either an engine or a fridge. Such a device could be engineered into future computers and
