A new approach to looking at solids provides theoretical limits on some of their properties

A new method for precisely moving columns of individual atoms within a material could give rise to exotic quantum properties

Researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute have shown that electrons in ultra-clean graphene can be steered with high precision while keeping their spin information intact, a key requirement for future low power electronics and quantum devices.

Electrons can arrange into crystalline patterns that accumulate defects as they melt; controlling the degree of melting may advance superconductors and artificial neurons

Good vibrations for quantum communications

The latest study on an electron-on-neon qubit, invented at Argonne, shows its strong potential to scale quantum information processing.

Researchers at the University of Alicante (UA) have developed a highly precise method for measuring distances at the nanometre scale at room temperature, opening up new avenues in molecular electronics research.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg found that electronic fluctuations can dynamically bridge vibrations that symmetry would normally keep separate.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated a new type of quantum interaction using a single trapped ion.

UCSB and UMass Amherst researchers have demonstrated the first chip-scale, stabilized visible-light Brillouin laser that drives a trapped-ion optical clock and qubit at room temperature. The compact photonic platform achieves 99.6% SPAM fidelity with fewer pulses than table-top systems, enabling portable, scalable quantum computing, sensing, and precision timing.

With a carefully-designed experiment and a handful of tin atoms, University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s physicists have found a long-sought form of superconductivity, taking one more step toward creating custom quantum materials.

The devices represent a key step toward practical quantum sensing, with applications in biomedical sensing, materials characterization, and more.
