SEALSQ Corp today announced that it is positioning itself at the forefront of defense against adversarial quantum attacks with cutting-edge post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. As quantum-computing brings a paradigm shift in computational power by harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics, the need for enhanced security has never been greater.

Measuring tiny magnetic fields, such as those generated by brain waves, enables many new novel opportunities for medical diagnostics and treatment. The research team led by Dr. Jan Jeske at Fraunhofer IAF is working on a globally innovative approach to precise magnetic field measurements: Laser Threshold Magnetometry. The researchers have now combined an NV diamond and a laser diode in a resonator, successfully demonstrating the sensor system with two active media for the first time. This outstanding paper has been published in Science Advances and represents a significant progress in the BMBF-funded research project NeuroQ.

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.

QuantumDiamonds GmbH, a pioneer in quantum sensing technology, announced the release of the QD m.0, the first commercial quantum device designed for semiconductor chip failure analysis. This advanced system utilizes diamond-based quantum microscopy to deliver unprecedented precision in detecting and localizing faults in integrated circuits, meeting the increasing testing demands for heterogeneous integration in modern semiconductor fabrication.

Spintronics uses the spins of electrons to perform logic operations or store information. Ideally, spintronic devices could operate faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional semiconductor devices. However, it is still difficult to create and manipulate spin textures in materials.

A new paper unravels the mysteries of a bizarre physical state known as the pseudogap, which has close ties to the sought-after state called high-temperature superconductivity, in which electrical resistance disappears.

Xiphera, Ltd, a Finnish company designing and implementing hardware-based security solutions, announces a project for developing quantum-resilient Authenticated Boot and Hardware Root of Trust solutions for space-grade semiconductor architectures.

Physicists from Würzburg present a nanometre-sized light antenna with electrically modulated surface properties – a breakthrough that could pave the way for faster computer chips.

Diamond Quanta, a trailblazer in semiconductor innovation, capitalizing on the exceptional properties of diamond to deliver advanced solutions in power electronics and quantum photonic devices, today announced its selection to join Plug and Play’s prestigious Semiconductor & Photonic Accelerator Program.

Moiré superlattices, structures that arise when two layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials are overlaid with a small twist angle, have been the focus of numerous physics studies. This is because they have recently been found to host novel fascinating unobserved physical phenomena and exotic phases of matter.
