ZuriQ Raises 3.8M CHF in First Financing Round From VC Consortium

ZuriQ Raises 3.8M CHF in First Financing Round From VC Consortium

January 26, 2025
Trapped ions have been one of the most powerful approaches in quantum computing, demonstrating world-record performance, long coherence times and long-range connectivity. But these systems face a fundamental challenge: they struggle to dramatically scale up the number of physical qubits, relying on one-dimensional chains with hard physical limitations that prevent scaling — until now.

Quantum Simulation: First Signs of Stripe Formation

Quantum Simulation: First Signs of Stripe Formation

January 20, 2025
In a new study, researchers from the MCQST, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the LMU under the lead of Timon Hilker demonstrated evidence of stripe formation, i.e. extended structures in the density pattern, in a cold-atom Fermi-Hubbard system. By using a quantum gas microscope and a special mixed-dimensional geometry, they were able to observe unique higher-order correlations in spin and charge densities related to those seen in some high-temperature superconducting materials.
