EU Millions for Dresden to Develop Portable Quantum Sensors: State of the Art From Quantum Computing Is Set to Open Up New Possibilities in Neurosurgery

EU Millions for Dresden to Develop Portable Quantum Sensors: State of the Art From Quantum Computing Is Set to Open Up New Possibilities in Neurosurgery

December 20, 2024
Optical measurement techniques are increasingly used in surgery for real-time tissue analysis. This technology is particularly important for monitoring during tumor removal, as it helps to detect any malignant cells that may still be present. These innovative techniques will also improve therapies for patients in the future. To this end, researchers from Dresden are collaborating with the Dutch company Single Quantum, which specializes in quantum technology, and Absolut System SAS, a French cryogenic engineering consultancy. They want to bring sensors that have so far only been used in quantum computing and communication to the operating room. An EU grant totaling EUR 5 million over four years is supporting the consortium in developing and implementing this technology.

No Cavity, No Party: Free-Space Atoms Give Superradiant Transition a Pass

December 19, 2024
To better understand these findings, JILA and NIST Fellow Ana Maria Rey and her theory team collaborated with an international team of experimentalists. The theorists found that atoms in free space can only partially synchronize their emission, suggesting that the free-space experiment did not observe th

Connecting Qubit Islands With Quantum Bridges

Connecting Qubit Islands With Quantum Bridges

December 10, 2024
Researchers at QuTech have managed to, for the first time, perform coherent logic operations between spin qubits 250 micrometers apart on the same chip. Such ‘enormous’ distances create new opportunities for operations between qubits, as they normally only sustain over 100 nm. These results hold promise for scalable networks of spin qubit islands on a chip. The researchers published their results in Nature Physics.
