Scientists Find a Way to Sketch Quantum Devices With Focused Electrons
It has long been a dream to invent new materials from the “top down” choosing which atoms go where to engineer properties of interest. A technique created by Pittsburgh Quantum Institute-led researchers may help scientists and engineers “sketch” patterns of electrons into a programmable quantum material–lanthanum aluminate/strontium titanate or “LAO/STO.” Using this approach, they can […]
Ecuador and Latin America Set a Course to Advance Quantum Technologies in Space
Tucked in the far northwest of South America, entrepreneurial engineers and scientists in Ecuador are on a historic course. This course is different. It does not involve racing to quantum supremacy or colossal budgets. By staying nimble and agile to leverage local knowledge, expertise, and technologies developed in Ecuador and with partners in Latin America, […]
Chip-based Photon Source 100 Times More Efficient Than Previous Tests To “Bring Quantum Tech Out of The Lab”
Photo by ?? Claudio Schwarz | @purzlbaum on Unsplash The Patient Ones Most experts would agree quantum computers will change the technological landscape forever. Before all that, though, there needs to be an effective way to transfer quantum information — like with entangled pairs of photons, for example — to qubits. With this in mind, researchers at the Stevens Institute of […]
Two-Bit Quantum Computer Solves Real Optimization Problem
Quantum computers have already managed to surpass ordinary computers in solving certain tasks – unfortunately, totally useless ones. The next milestone is to get them to do useful things. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now shown that they can solve a small part of a real logistics problem with their small, but […]
Spinning Lithium Atoms Exposed To Magnetic Forces Potential Source For Reliable Qubits
Photo by Octavio Fossatti on Unsplash Spin What happens if you expose atoms to incredibly cold temperatures and a magnetic field? Well, according to a team of scientists at MIT currently doing research on it, some very interesting patterns of behaviour occur. The groundbreaking research — which could be very important for the further advancements in the technology […]

Niels Bohr Institute Research Team’s Scientific Milestone, Punching Well Above Their Weight To Compete With Google in ‘Quantum Advantage’ Race
Photo by Quinn Buffing on Unsplash The World According To Preskill ‘Quantum advantage’, as a concept, means that a quantum computer can execute any given computation notably faster than a classical computer. The term came about from ‘quantum supremacy’, a phrase coined by John Preskill back in 2012 but ‘achieved’ last year by Google. The two terms […]
Amazon’s Chief Technology Officer Predicts Quantum Will Blossom in 2021
Quantum is poised to blossom in 2021, according to Werner Vogels, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Amazon.com. He added that just how much quantum tech blossoms depends a lot on making the technology accessible and affordable. In a recent booklet on his tech predictions for 2021, Vogels writes that the need for quantum along […]
The Race to Harness Quantum is One the US Must Win
Guest Post by David Dean, the Center’s Director, explaining the QSC’s mission necessity and research implications. The last several decades of technological progress have been defined by advances in silicon-based materials and their ability to advance computing, storage, and networking. These three components have come to define, and are still driving, the Digital Age. But […]
Fermilab-led Team Achieves Sustained, High-Fidelity Quantum Teleportation
A viable quantum internet — a network in which information stored in qubits is shared over long distances through entanglement — would transform the fields of data storage, precision sensing and computing, ushering in a new era of communication, according to a Fermilab news release. This month, scientists at Fermilab, a U.S. Department of Energy […]
