Now, researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering led by Elisa Riedo, Herman F. Mark Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, have uncovered a new phenomenon in graphene research, observing growth-induced self-organized ABA and ABC stacking domains that could kick-start the development of advanced quantum technologies. The findings, published in a recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy Of Sciences (PNAS), demonstrate how specific stacking arrangements in three-layer epitaxial graphene systems emerge naturally — eliminating the need for complex, non-scalable techniques traditionally used in graphene twisting fabrication.

Forty-seven undergraduate students studying in Australia, representing 13 countries, have been awarded scholarships valued at AU$3,333 to participate in a six-week summer research program at the University of Technology Sydney, the University of Sydney, UNSW Sydney, and Macquarie University.

Though seemingly inevitable, noise in quantum hardware can be tackled by so-called logical qubits – collections of tens, hundreds or even thousands of actual physical qubits that allow the correction of noise-induced errors. Logical qubits are the holy grail of quantum computing, and quantum hardware builder Infleqtion today published groundbreaking work that used the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform to both design and demonstrate an experiment with two of them.

Scientists hope to harness the powers of quantum computers to solve unprecedented problems. Central to this goal is the ability to communicate between the quantum and classical computing worlds. To do so, they must manipulate the signals that travel both worlds to optimize their ability to read the information stored within the quantum bits inside a quantum computer. To help meet these needs, engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory created the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit in 2022. QICK is a combination of a radio frequency circuit board, control and readout hardware and open-source software to control it. Today, with more than 350 registered users worldwide, the engineers created a new companion product called “QICK box,” which they are now ready to bring to market.

Two University of Rhode Island physics professors have been awarded separate $800,000 grants as part of the National Science Foundation’s $39 million program to grow quantum research at institutions of higher education across the U.S.

QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced that all three research projects in which QuEra is involved have advanced to the second of three phases of the Wellcome Leap’s Quantum for Bio Challenge. The projects taking three of the coveted eight spots in the prestigious program further demonstrate QuEra’s importance in developing quantum computing applications in complex scientific fields, including healthcare and biology.

Macquarie University research is paving the way for advanced diamond-based technologies in electronics and quantum computing. Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research recently published in Applied Surface Science.

Quantinuum announces Nexus is about to come out of Beta; Nexus is a comprehensive quantum computing platform designed to manage, store, and execute quantum workflows with integration into Quantinuum’s software and hardware ecosystem.

In this study, researchers from a large international team including ANSTO, investigated the magnetic properties of two unique 2D triangular lattice antiferromagnetic materials (2D-TLHAF)* using various neutron scattering techniques.

Recently, a team led by the Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée (CNRS), in collaboration with ICREA Professor at ICFO Jens Biegert and other multiple institutions (Institut für Quantenoptik - Leibniz Universität Hannover, Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena), demonstrated the quantum optical properties of high-harmonic generation in semiconductors. The results, appearing in Physical Review X Quantum, align with the previous theoretical predictions about HHG.
