A recent study by a multi-institutional team of researchers presents a new approach to solving chemical simulation problems using quantum computing, potentially offering a more efficient pathway in computational chemistry. The study, published recently in the pre-print server ArXiv, proposes an innovative method that could significantly enhance the way chemical systems are simulated, addressing the longstanding issue of computational cost escalation with increasing system size.

A major soon-to-begin project aims to develop these critical building blocks to enable future quantum devices. Peter Liljeroth, professor of physics at Aalto University and director of the new Finnish Quantum Flagship, has received a 2,5 million euro grant from the European Research Council for research on quantum materials. The project will start at the turn of the year, and it is hoped to enable technologies that we may not yet even be able to imagine.

Material scientists from the University of British Columbia Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (Blusson QMI) will lead the development of a multi-million world-class crystal growth facility thanks to $5.8 million in investments by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the B.C. Knowledge Development Fund (BCKDF) announced today.

Building on its more than 70 years pioneering the study of fusion energy, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has added a new field to its research portfolio — quantum information science.

PASQAL, a global leader in neutral atoms quantum computing, today announced its latest technology roadmap. Guided by PASQAL’s mission to deliver a useful product for industry, the roadmap emphasizes the devices the company will deliver to customers and their technologies progression as informed by commercial partners.

A team of NUS researchers led by Associate Professor Lu Jiong from the Department of Chemistry and Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials, together with their international collaborators, have developed a novel concept of a chemist-intuited atomic robotic probe (CARP).

Terra Quantum, a leading quantum technology company, today announced the joint publication of a research paper describing a new superconducting qubit that potentially could increase coherence times in quantum processors by orders of magnitude. The “flowermon” qubit represents a new class of superconducting devices that utilizes unconventional hybrid materials that could significantly improve the feasibility of scaling superconducting quantum processors.

When was the last time your laptop or cloud storage notified you that it was running low on space? Or you transferred a file only to find out that a bug in the system caused damage, and you could no longer access the information? Data storage, access, and connectivity are important aspects of life in our digital age.

Researchers at Uppsala University, along with other collaborators, have discovered a novel 2D quantum material in a recent study published in Nature. This groundbreaking material is composed of atomically thin layers of cerium, silicon, and iodine (CeSiI), marking the first instance of a 2D material with heavy fermions.

Rice University scientists have discovered a first-of-its-kind material, a 3D crystalline metal in which quantum correlations and the geometry of the crystal structure combine to frustrate the movement of electrons and lock them in place.
