Physicists from Aalto University in Finland, alongside an international team of collaborators, have theoretically and experimentally shown that superconducting qubit coherence loss can be directly measured as thermal dissipation in the electrical circuit holding the qubit.

Bruker Corporation is pleased to announce the successful installation and acceptance of a 1.2 GHz Avance Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer at the Korea Basic Science Institute ( KBSI ), just in time before the start of the ICMRBS 2024 conference in Korea. As the first 1.2 GHz NMR system in the Asia-Pacific region, it sets a new benchmark for molecular, cell biology and disease research by ultra-high field NMR.

Using two optically trapped glass nanoparticles, researchers observed a novel collective Non-Hermitian and nonlinear dynamic driven by nonreciprocal interactions. This contribution expands traditional optical levitation with tweezer arrays by incorporating the so called non-conservative interactions. Their findings, supported by an analytical model developed by collaborators from Ulm University and the University of Duisburg-Essen, were recently published in Nature Physics.

Recent research has shown that the trace anomaly can be measured using the production of charmonium. This is a type of subatomic particle produced at the Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory and the future Electron Ion Collider. Researchers can also theoretically calculate the trace anomaly using QCD. The study is published in the journal Physics Letters B.

The EQUALITY project’s objective is to develop a full stack of technologies comprised of core quantum algorithms and hardware; a set of enabling technologies (mid-ware and APIs, efficient resource utilisation strategies, etc) aimed to make the most of the imperfect Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware; and a set of use cases where the quantum computing is expected to bring the largest impact.

Eni and ITQuanta have agreed to form a joint venture, Eniquantic, with the aim of developing an integrated hardware and software quantum machine2 capable of solving complex problems (mathematical optimisation, modelling and simulation, artificial intelligence) and initiating specific and significant quantum computing applications to support the energy transition.

Physicists from the University of Cologne have contributed to the discovery of unusual quantum states in a crystal consisting of one-dimensional magnetic chains.

Terra Quantum, in collaboration with Evonik, one of the world's leading specialty chemical manufacturers, developed HQPINN, a hybrid quantum-classical solver for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), demonstrating a 21% improvement in accuracy over purely classical methods.

Xanadu, the world leader in photonic quantum computing, partners with Nanofiber Quantum Technologies (NanoQT) and QunaSys to expand quantum research and support Japan's quantum ecosystem. Collaborating with two of Japan's prominent quantum startups, Xanadu will push the boundaries of quantum theory research and open-source quantum software development.

Zapata Computing Holdings Inc. , the Industrial Generative AI company, today announced that it has joined the KT Consortium, a collaborative body connecting global industry leaders in chemical and biochemical manufacturing with the state-of-the-art technologies emerging from academia.
