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.

Northwestern University engineers are the first to successfully demonstrate quantum teleportation over a fiber optic cable already carrying Internet traffic. The discovery, published in the journal Optica, introduces the new possibility of combining quantum communication with existing Internet cables — greatly simplifying the infrastructure required for for advanced sensing technologies or quantum computing applications.

In a recent breakthrough, scientists from Okayama University in Japan developed nanodiamond sensors bright enough for bioimaging, with spin properties comparable to those of bulk diamonds. The study, published in ACS Nano, on 16 December 2024, was led by Research Professor Masazumi Fujiwara from Okayama University, in collaboration with Sumitomo Electric Company and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology.

A brotherly research duo has discovered that when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces top quarks – the heaviest known fundamental particles – it regularly creates a property known as magic.

Heriot-Watt University is celebrating success with three funded projects in the first round of awards from the inaugural Photonics and Quantum Accelerator (PQA), a pioneering initiative aimed at accelerating growth in Scotland’s photonics and quantum sectors.

Researchers at the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have realized a new design for a superconducting quantum processor, aiming at a potential architecture for the large-scale, durable devices the quantum revolution demands.

Zooming in to the “pixels of reality”: the electron microscope helps us to do that. However, it is unsuited for particularly sensitive targets. A Vienna-based research group intends to avoid this problem with a quantum optics trick and thereby set new standards in high-resolution microscopy.

To address these challenges, Tohoku University's Dr. Le Bin Ho led a team that developed a multi-target quantum compilation algorithm. They published their new study in the journal Machine Learning: Science and Technology on December 5, 2024.

A diverse selection of impact projects, which include devices for more accurate timing, ultra-secure encryption, and retinal monitoring, are set to benefit from the first round of funding support from the Photonics and Quantum Accelerator (PQA).

Quantum computer manufacturing specialist SDT, announced that it has successfully raised KRW 20 billion (USD 14 million) in a pre-IPO funding round. This achievement marks a significant milestone as the company accelerates its plans to become Korea’s first publicly listed quantum technology firm by the second half of 2025.
