Scholars at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have unveiled an innovation that brings artificial intelligence (AI) closer to quantum computing – both physically and technologically.

A kind of ‘umbilical cord’ between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that this ‘umbilical cord’ is generic to many materials.

A research team led by Prof. ZENG Changgan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborated with Prof. SHENG Junyuan from Wuhan University and Pro. Francisco Guinea from IMDEA Nanociencia in Spain, has introduced a novel method for selectively tuning electronic bands in graphene.

Twisted bilayer graphene defies conventional theories by exhibiting superconductivity despite a vanishingly small charge carrier velocity.
