Magnetic Switch Traps Quantum Information Carriers in One Dimension
Magnetic Switch Traps Quantum Information Carriers in One Dimension
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.

UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering researchers created a "quantum-inspired” revolution in microelectronics, storing classical computer memory in crystal gaps where atoms should be.
Quantum State of Photoelectrons Measured for the First Time
Quantum State of Photoelectrons Measured for the First Time
For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light pulses. This is thanks to a new measurement technique developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The results can provide a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter.
Quantum Imaging Breakthrough Achieved With Ultra-Thin Nonlinear Metasurfaces
Quantum Imaging Breakthrough Achieved With Ultra-Thin Nonlinear Metasurfaces
Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) nodes at the Australian National University (ANU) and University of Melbourne (UoM) have pioneered a new quantum imaging protocol using spatially entangled photon pairs generated by an ultra-thin nonlinear metasurface. This revolutionary approach combines ghost imaging and all-optical scanning methods to reconstruct images with exceptional resolution, demonstrating a significant leap forward in the field of quantum optics and imaging technology.
Durbin, Daines Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Support the Future of Quantum Research at Energy Department
Durbin, Daines Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Support the Future of Quantum Research at Energy Department
U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) today introduced bipartisan legislation to expand the United States’ capacity to invest in quantum information science and research and development (R&D) through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). As quantum science, engineering, and technology advances, the DOE Quantum Leadership Act of 2025 would reinvigorate R&D projects at DOE by authorizing more than $2.5 billion in funding over the next five years—well above the $625 million for DOE-related programs laid out in the now-expiredNational Quantum Initiative Act of 2018. The DOE Quantum Leadership Act would also provide DOE the authority to expand its current quantum R&D initiatives.
