In a new development that could help redefine the future of technology, a team of physicists has uncovered a fundamental insight into the upper limit of superconducting temperature.

Oxford Instruments NanoScience today introduces its low temperature, superconducting magnet measurement system for fundamental materials physics, TeslatronPT Plus. The system promises simpler access to high performance measurement capabilities, allowing users to spend more time on the measurement rather than the set-up, while gaining a flexible, scalable and secure system.

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a groundbreaking new framework that could revolutionise our understanding of gravity and its relationship with quantum mechanics.

Researchers based at the University of Cambridge have created a three-state (ternary) molecular switch controlled by light and temperature. Unlike materials such as silicon that switches between two states, the new complex material can act as a solid-state optical switch between three different molecular states. This provides a groundwork for future technologies like optical data storage, photonic circuits and quantum computing.

Oxford Instruments today announces that Dr. Jeong Min (Jane) Park, a Schmidt Science Fellow in the Department of Physics at Princeton University, has been awarded the Lee Osheroff Richardson prize 2025.

Researchers at the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester have achieved a significant milestone in the field of quantum electronics with their latest study on spin injection to graphene. The paper, published recently in Communications Materials, outlines ground-breaking advancements in spintronics and quantum transport.

TreQ, the quantum engineering and manufacturing company, today announces the opening of its UK headquarters and production facility at the Milton Park Innovation Centre, Oxfordshire. With the pace of innovation in quantum computing advancing rapidly – and with early movers set to capture as much as 90% of the value generated by quantum – TreQ enables businesses, institutions, and communities to accelerate their quantum journeys. By building and operating bespoke open-architecture quantum computing clusters, TreQ’s solutions are fully upgradeable and extensible. Its quantum computing systems develop with the market, maximising capital investment and reducing the risk of obsolescence.

Oxford University’s brand new MSc in Quantum Technologies is an innovative interdisciplinary course that provides students with a technical overview of modern quantum technologies for computing, sensing and communications. The 12-month course has an emphasis on industry connections, practical training and research projects.

SECQAI, a UK-based ultra-secure hardware and software company and member of the NATO DIANA initiative, today announces the launch of the world’s first hybrid Quantum Large Language Model (QLLM).

What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction – from past to future – time could flow forward or backward due to processes taking place at the quantum level. This is the thought-provoking discovery made by researchers at the University of Surrey, as a new study reveals that opposing arrows of time can theoretically emerge from certain quantum systems.
