Dell Technologies and Aramco have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore opportunities in quantum computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), edge computing solutions and advanced computing architectures.

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that a specific class of oxide membranes can confine, or “squeeze,” infrared light – a finding that holds promise for next generation infrared imaging technologies. The thin-film membranes confine infrared light far better than bulk crystals, which are the established technology for infrared light confinement.

In a study published in Nature Materials, scientists from the University of California, Irvine describe a new method to make very thin crystals of the element bismuth – a process that may make the manufacturing of cheap flexible electronics an everyday reality.

The last time this team used Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s 3D scanning vibrometer, it was to measure a gigantic composite panel. This time, they’re measuring the vibration amplitudes of a cryogenic ion trap – around 10 nanometers, peak to peak.

Photonic Inc., a leader in distributed quantum computing in silicon, today announced it is scaling up its executive leadership team with industry forerunners in the areas of research and development, materials science, quantum technologies, marketing, human resources and legal.

A research team at the University of Wyoming created an innovative method to control tiny magnetic states within ultrathin, two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals magnets -- a process akin to how flipping a light switch controls a bulb.

Single-photon emitters (SPEs) are akin to microscopic lightbulbs that emit only one photon (a quantum of light) at a time. These tiny structures hold immense importance for the development of quantum technology, particularly in applications such as secure communications and high-resolution imaging. However, many materials that contain SPEs are impractical for use in mass manufacturing due to their high cost and the difficulty of integrating them into complex devices.

'The Quantum Länd' team has filed a patent application for a whole set of important building blocks for future quantum computers, including a method for special optical tweezers for individual atoms, a vacuum-compatible electric field control and a novel concept for the realization of a fast qubit.

Scientists have taken the first atomic-resolution images of an exotic quantum phenomenon that could help researchers advance quantum computing and energy-efficient electronics. The work enables the visualization and control of electron flow in a unique class of quantum insulators. The findings may help researchers build tunable networks of electron channels with promise for efficient quantum computing and low-power magnetic memory devices in the future.

IonQ, a leader in quantum computing, today announced the addition of industry expert, Dr. Martin Roetteler, as its new Head of Quantum Applications.
