Mapping Noise to Improve Quantum Measurements

Mapping Noise to Improve Quantum Measurements

June 7, 2024
One of the biggest challenges in quantum technology and quantum sensing is “noise”–seemingly random environmental disturbances that can disrupt the delicate quantum states of qubits, the fundamental units of quantum information. Looking deeper at this issue, JILA Associate Fellow and University of Colorado Boulder Physics assistant professor Shuo Sun recently collaborated with Andrés Montoya-Castillo, assistant professor of chemistry (also at CU Boulder), and his team to develop a new method for better understanding and controlling this noise, potentially paving the way for significant advancements in quantum computing, sensing, and control. Their new method, which uses a mathematical technique called a Fourier transform, was published recently in the journal npj Quantum Information.

An international research team around Marcus Sperling, a START award project leader at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna, has sparked interest in the scientific community with pioneering results in quantum physics: In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives elementary particles mass and triggers phase transitions, using the concept of "magnetic quivers."

New Achievement in Quantum Physics: New Research Reinterprets the Higgs Mechanism With Simplified Concepts

Researchers from the Physics Department of the University of Vienna, collaborating with international researchers, have achieved a groundbreaking result in quantum physics by reinterpreting the Higgs mechanism, which is a mechanism in the Standard Model that generates mass. In this work, they utilized a graphical research tool called "Magnetic Quivers" to describe how this mechanism gives mass to fundamental particles and triggers phase transitions. The research findings have been published in Physical Review Letters.
