The group of CQT Principal Investigator Gao Weibo and their collaborators are the first to achieve near-unity quantum efficiency in 2D single photon emitters.

Denmark is set to redefine photonic quantum computing with the launch of a five-year research and innovation initiative, backed by a DKK 16.2 million grant from the Innovation Fund Denmark. The ‘Fault-Tolerant Quantum Photonics’ (FTQP) project will propel quantum hardware into the future with new fault-tolerant computing architectures centered around deterministic single-photon emitters.

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments.

UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening new possibilities for sensing, precision timekeeping, quantum computing and fundamental science measurements.

Researchers from Osaka University have discovered the fundamental properties of single-photon emitters at an oxide/semiconductor interface, which could be crucial for scalable quantum technology.

Laying the groundwork for quantum communication systems of the future, engineers at Caltech have demonstrated the successful operation of a quantum network of two nodes, each containing multiple quantum bits, or qubits—the fundamental information-storing building blocks of quantum computers.

Researchers developed a theoretical model that predicts substantial increase in the brightness of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by leveraging novel quantum states called polaritons. Integrating polaritons into OLEDs effectively requires the discovery of new materials, making practical implementation an exciting challenge.

Quandela, the European leader in photonic quantum computing, announces a major breakthrough for the sector in a scientific paper describing a reduction by a factor of 100,000 in the number of components required for fault-tolerant calculations. Quandela’s hybrid approach, based on a technology that generates photonic qubits with unprecedented efficiency from artificial atoms (semiconductor quantum emitters), should enable the company to accelerate the scaling-up of its quantum computers.

On January 21, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) announced funding for quantum science projects, including six initiatives at uOttawa. These awards reinforce the University’s commitment to exploring quantum science and driving innovation in Canada.

In quantum technology applications such as quantum computing, light plays a central role in encoding and transmitting information. NTU researchers have recently made breakthroughs in manipulating light that could potentially usher in the era of quantum computing.
