Amulti-institutional team of scientists in the United States, led by physicist Peng Wei at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate “topological superconductor.”

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has revolutionized the field of nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), making it possible to study a wider range of materials, biomolecules and complex dynamic processes such as how proteins fold and change shape inside a cell.

In recent theoretical research, a team of physicists, led by University of Rhode Island professor Vanita Srinivasa, envisions a modular system for scaling quantum processors with a flexible way of linking qubits over long distances to enable them to work in concert to perform quantum operations.

Together with their collaborators, Busnaina and Dr. Christopher Wilson, a faculty member at IQC and a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, have realized quantum analog simulation of a new type of system. This version of their simulation, known as the bosonic Kitaev model, is made using a class of subatomic particles called bosons which includes photons (particles of light) and the Higgs Boson, which are linked together in a chain.

In a recent paper published in Physical Review Letters, researchers of the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) - in collaboration with researchers from Regensburg, Heidelberg and Harvard University - propose a new scheme to emulate doped, bosonic quantum magnets in state-of-the-art cold atom and molecule experiments. Instead of relying on physical tunneling of the mobile dopants, they develop a protocol that utilizes the rich internal structure of atoms and molecules to implement the charge and spin degrees-of-freedom.

A team of researchers at EPFL, led by Prof. Tobias Kippenberg, in collaboration with Prof. Sunil Bhave's group at Purdue University, has achieved a key step in interfacing microwave superconducting circuits with optical photons, which could overcome critical challenges in scaling up these systems for next-generation computing.

Researchers at QuTech developed somersaulting spin qubits for universal quantum logic. This achievement may enable efficient control of large semiconductor qubit arrays. The research group published their demonstration of hopping spins in Nature Communications and their work on somersaulting spins in Science

Researchers at AIST, in collaboration with researchers at Yokohama National University, have succeeded in generating a highly accurate time scale for 230 consecutive days by using an optical lattice clock.

A study led by FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Professor Wei Guo that was published in Physical Review Letters shows new insight into the quantum state that describes the condition of electrons on such a qubit, information that can help engineers build this innovative technology.
