QNu Inc., a company focused on quantum-resistant cryptography, has joined the Chicago Quantum Exchange as a corporate partner. QNu Inc. is interested in building research collaborations and leveraging the talent of the CQE community as it grows in the United States.

Purdue University has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to lead the Quantum Photonics Integrated Design Center (QuPIDC) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC).

In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Purdue University and the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Munich have revealed an unexpected twist in molecular physics: they can break molecules apart using laser light, only to reform them in a new, stable state. This discovery defies conventional chemistry, where severing chemical bonds typically results in the destruction of the molecule.

Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at high resolution than traditional diamond tips used in scanning probe magnetic-field microscopes.

Physicists at Purdue University have developed an innovative method to detect the motion of individual particles in quantum materials. This work, led by Alex Ruichao Ma, assistant professor of Physics and Astronomy, offers new insights into the quantum world and paves the way for future discoveries in quantum science and technologies.

A new milestone has been set for levitated optomechanics as Prof. Tongcang Li’s group observed the Berry phase of electron spins in nano-sized diamonds levitated in vacuum.

Researchers at Purdue University have trapped alkali atoms (cesium) on an integrated photonic circuit, which behaves like a transistor for photons (the smallest energy unit of light) similar to electronic transistors. These trapped atoms demonstrate the potential to build a quantum network based on cold-atom integrated nanophotonic circuits. The team, led by Chen-Lung Hung, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the Purdue University College of Science, published their discovery in the American Physical Society’s Physical Review X.

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.

Purdue University has joined the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) in the collaborative effort to advance the science and engineering of quantum information, build the future quantum workforce, and drive the nation’s quantum economy.
