An all-electric magnetic logic gate
Researchers from ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute has developed a way to build an all-electric magnetic logic gate. The work builds on the idea of magnetic racetrack memory, in which wires are moved
New generation of atomic clocks
The Time and Frequency Laboratory of the University of Neuchâtel is working on a new generation of atomic clocks, in collaboration with the European Space Agency. Time holds almost no secrets for scientists at the
Five-meter longest microwave quantum link
Physicists at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a five-meter-long microwave quantum link, the longest of its kind to date. It can be used both for future quantum computer networks and for experiments in basic quantum physics
Cambridge Quantum Computing and CERN announces quantum technology collaboration
Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) announced today that it has joined CERN Openlab in a collaboration – named the QUATERNION project – to explore the application of quantum technologies to particle physics. Researchers at CERN are
ID Quantique partners with Fortinet in quantum-safe VPN solution
ID Quantique (IDQ), the Swiss provider of quantum-safe security solutions, integrates with the Fortinet Security Fabric to provide long-term security for critical data transported over Virtual Private Networks (VPN). Fortinet’s flagship next-generation firewall, FortiGate, will
Berkeley Lab to tackle particle physics with Quantum Computing
Massive-scale particle physics produces correspondingly large amounts of data and this is particularly true of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator, which is housed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research
CERN first measurements of certain quantum effects in antimatter
The ALPHA collaboration at CERN has reported the first measurements of certain quantum effects in the energy structure of antihydrogen, the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen. These quantum effects are known to exist in matter, and
A fast light detector made of two-dimensional materials
Researchers at ETH Zurich have joined forces to develop a novel light detector which consists of two-dimensional layers of different materials that are coupled to a silicon optical waveguide. This extremely fast and sensitive light
New quasiparticle unveiled in room temperature semiconductors
Physicists from EPFL, Switzerland and University of Bremen have unveiled fingerprints of the long-sought particle known as Mahan exciton in the room temperature optical response of the popular methylammonium lead halide perovskites. The optical properties
A novel formulation to explain heat propagation
Researchers at EPFL and NCCR MARVEL have developed a novel formulation that describes how heat spreads within crystalline materials. This can explain why and under which conditions heat propagation becomes fluid-like rather than diffusive. Their
