Researchers at UNSW Sydney have addressed the problem of merging qubits and classical electronic circuits that requires multi-million-dollar refrigeration. The researchers’ proof-of-concept quantum processor unit cell, on a silicon chip, works at 1.5 Kelvin –
QuTech, a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO, has managed to control qubits in silicon at temperatures over 50 times higher than previously. The increase to practical temperatures represents a crucial leap towards a functional
Researchers at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have successfully demonstrated a new electronic refrigeration technology that could enable major leaps in the development of quantum computers. The new electronic cooling technology could replace these cryogenic
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and the Austrian Academy of Sciences present a new measuring method to identify and characterize so-called topological invariants on various experimental platforms. A particularly fascinating class of quantum states
Hybrid nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity in the topological regime host Majorana zero modes at their ends. Networks of such structures can produce topologically protected qubits where the fundamental energy scale is given by the inter-pair
Recently researchers demonstrated numerically that QAOA performance varies as a power law in the amount of noise under certain physical noise models. A team of scientists at NASA Ames Research Center and USRA Research Institute
Physicists at MIT and elsewhere have observed evidence of Majorana fermions on the surface of a common metal: Gold. This is the first sighting of Majorana fermions on a platform that can potentially be scaled
PsiQuantum, a 5-year-old startup based in Palo Alto, building a scalable, fault tolerant, silicon photonic quantum computer, has just raised $215 million, as we announced yesterday. The startup aims to build a computer with 1
![Schematization of crystal structure and the Kitaev basis of CrSiTe 3 monolayer. The black parallelogram marks the unit cell of the honeycomb lattice of CrSiTe 3 monolayer. The { X Y Z } basis of the Kitaev model is indicated by red, green, and blue arrows, which is determined by Löwdin orthogonalization [17] of the hard axes of the nearest neighbor Cr-Cr interactions. The X , Y , and Z directions are found to be very close to the Cr ─ Te bonds](https://swissquantumhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/medium-2.png)
A recent discovery by University of Arkansas physicists could help researchers establish the existence of quantum spin liquids, a new state of matter. They’ve been a mystery since they were first proposed in the 1970s.
A team of researchers at the University of Illinois in collaboration with researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the University of Maryland, Boston College, and ETH Zurich, have used high-resolution microscopy
