Using the Multi-frequency High Field Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer at the Steady-State High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a research team from Southern University of Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, Renmin University of China, and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization observed the first-ever Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of a two-magnon bound state in a magnetic material.

SEALSQ Corp ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced the deployment of its PQC technology across its sovereign data centers in Switzerland and France. In collaboration with its parent company, WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”), which focused on global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT, SEALSQ is pioneering the secure and scalable adoption of quantum technology by integrating expertise in hardware, software, and operational security.

An international research team from QuTech and the University of Copenhagen has developed a superconductor-semiconductor hybrid device. It contains a quantum dot in germanium proximized by a superconductor. The integration of on-demand superconductivity into a semiconductor enables the potential development of new hybrid quantum processors. The researchers published their results in Nature Materials.

Professor Hiroshi Sakaguchi and Associate Professor Takahiro Kojima of the Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University, in collaboration with the National University of Singapore and the University of California, Berkeley (USA), announced that they have successfully developed carbon magnets. By designing a precursor molecule and using a unique stereoregularly controlled synthesis method, they succeeded in synthesizing graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), which exhibited magnetic properties by localizing spins of the same orientation on only one side. The GNRs were named "Janus GNRs" after Janus, the two-faced god in Greek mythology. Theoretical calculations showed that the magnetic strength of the GNRs can be tuned via molecular design. These results are expected to lead to the development of lightweight, rustproof, rare-earth-free magnets and were published in the January 9 issue of the international journal Nature.

Long at the vanguard of international efforts to answer questions like these, ORNL’s contributions remain strong today. David Radford, head of the lab’s Fundamental Nuclear and Particle Physics section, is an internationally renowned expert in the field who has had an indelible impact on the development of germanium detectors. Vital experimentation tools at the forefront of fundamental physics research, germanium detectors are large, single crystals of germanium — a metallic element — used to detect radiation and enable incredibly precise energy measurements.

There is a big problem with quantum technology — it’s tiny. The distinctive properties that exist at the subatomic scale usually disappear at macroscopic scales, making it difficult to harness their superior sensing and communication capabilities for real-world applications, like optical systems and advanced computing. Now, however, an international team led by physicists at Penn State and Columbia University has developed a novel approach to maintain special quantum characteristics, even in three-dimensional (3D) materials.

A quantum “miracle material” could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University of Regensburg and University of Michigan has shown. his recently discovered capability could help enable applications in quantum computing, sensing and more. While earlier studies identified that quantum entities called excitons are sometimes effectively confined to a single line within the material chromium sulfide bromide, the new research provides a thorough theoretical and experimental demonstration explaining how this is connected to the magnetic order in the material.

When it comes to layered quantum materials, current understanding only scratches the surface; so demonstrates a new study from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. Using advanced X-ray spectroscopy at the Swiss Light Source SLS, researchers uncovered magnetic phenomena driven by unexpected interactions between the layers of a kagome ferromagnet made from iron and tin. This discovery challenges assumptions about layered alloys of common metals, providing a starting point for developing new magnetoelectric devices and rare-earth-free motors.

Argonne researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique to study atomic vibrations near material interfaces, opening doors to new quantum applications in computing and sensing.

PROMISE is a consortium that focuses on the application of Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) in diamond quantum technology for imaging. The aim is to guide the development and use of this mature and promising quantum technology, which is known for its ease of operation. PROMISE leads the NV based quantum imaging sensors to the next level of development building widefield magnetometer prototypes to measure relevant samples into operational environments (TRL7) to foster its market uptake.
