Purdue University-connected software company Quantum Research Sciences (QRS) has received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research contract from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which contracts, purchases, distributes, stores and disposes of items for the Department of Defense.

A research team from the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and their collaborators have recently developed a novel algorithm in quantum physics known as ‘entanglement microscopy’ that enables visualisation and mapping of this extraordinary phenomenon at a microscopic scale. By zooming in on the intricate interactions of entangled particles, one can uncover the hidden structures of quantum matter, revealing insights that could transform technology and deepen the understanding of the universe.

To promote the sustainability of electromobility and enhance resource efficiency, upcycling of lithium-ion batteries is gaining increasing importance. Efforts are focused on slowing down material cycles by repurposing used batteries from electric vehicles for new applications instead of transferring them directly to recycling processes. Despite its real significant potential to conserve resources, upcycling has yet caught on due to technical and economic challenges. However, a team of researchers has developed a practical method that combines a high-speed measurement method and artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome these barriers.

UConn physicists have partnered with Google Quantum AI and Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) quantum experts on a groundbreaking paper on the effects of gravitation on quantum information systems.

A quantum computer the size of a smartphone – researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) are investigating how this could become reality. Physicist Prof. Dr. Vojislav Krstić and his team of researchers are focusing on developing quantum bits (Qubits) that work on the basis of topological isolators, a class of materials that have increasingly become the focus of research over recent years thanks to their unusual properties. The pioneering project has now received funding of over 900,000 euros.

A research team coordinated by the Department of Physics was able to work on the powerful computers of Google's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab to conduct a study on confinement in lattice gauge theory. The results of the study have been published in Nature Physics.

Scientists including an Oregon State University chemistry researcher have taken a key step toward next-generation optical computing and memory with the discovery of luminescent nanocrystals that can be quickly toggled from light to dark and back again.

Experiments show that applied voltage can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials.

MITRE and Montana State University (MSU) are conducting joint research that includes pursuing alternative domestic sources to the rare earth elements used today in developing quantum technology applications.
