New research using neural networks, a form of brain-inspired AI, proposes a solution to the tough challenge of modelling the states of molecules. The research shows how the technique can help solve fundamental equations in complex molecular systems. This could lead to practical uses in the future, helping researchers to prototype new materials and chemical syntheses using computer simulation before trying to make them in the lab.

The consortium of Queensland universities includes The University of Queensland, Griffith, University, Queensland University of Technology, University of Southern Queensland and the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Researchers experimentally investigate the impact of introducing high-density calcium on the superconductivity of calcium-intercalated bilayer graphene.

We are excited to announce that we have recently been awarded a £1.2 million contract by the UK Government to develop quantum computing solutions for optimisation problems within energy grids. This project, which has been awarded through the Innovate UK Quantum Catalyst Fund and follows a successful Phase 1 feasibility stage, will allow us to work with key users such as National Grid ESO and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to solve some of the key challenges facing the energy grid of today (and tomorrow).

Human-Interface-Technologies have the potential to revolutionize entire industries. With its magnetic field sensor, the German quantum technology company Q.ANT has taken a decisive step in this direction and initiated a paradigm shift. More precise than before, Q.ANT’s new sensor can measure the finest electrical currents via their magnetic field enabling native and intuitive access to biosignals for the first time.

UBC Blusson Quantum Matter Institute has become an affiliate of Quantum Industry Canada (QIC), a national consortium dedicated to advancing the country’s quantum technology sector.
