For the first time since the discovery of the material MnBi2Te4 (MBT), researchers at the University of Twente have successfully made it behave like a superconductor. This marks an important step in understanding MBT and is significant for future technologies, such as new methods of information processing and quantum computing.

An international research team led by NYU Tandon School of Engineering and KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) has pioneered a new technique to identify and characterize atomic-scale defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a two-dimensional (2D) material often dubbed "white graphene" for its remarkable properties.

Dr. Seung-Woo Lee's research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST)'s Quantum Technology Research Center has developed the world's first hybrid quantum error correction technique for discrete variables (DV) and continuous variables (CV), and designed a fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on hybrid technique.

A new study has uncovered important behavior in the flow of electric current through quantum superconductors, potentially advancing the development of future technologies like quantum computing.

erra Quantum, a global leader in quantum technology, today announced the successful demonstration of a new type of superconductivity – a significant breakthrough in physics and superconducting technology. “Type III” superconductors feature superconducting islands separated by non-superconducting regions, resulting in unique magnetic and electrical properties.

Artilux, the leader of GeSi (germanium-silicon) photonics technology and pioneer of CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) based SWIR (short-wavelength infrared) single photon detection, announces its collaboration with Dr. Richard A. Soref, a renowned expert widely known as the "father of silicon photonics", to jointly investigate the field of quantum information processing based on the integrated silicon photonics platform.

A recent collaboration between the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago addresses this problem by using the using the environment as a help, instead of a hindrance. In using the environment of superconducting qubits, sometimes referred to as a reservoir, the researchers show that more stable entanglement can be created.

Physicists from the University of Basel have succeeded in coupling two Andreev qubits coherently over a macroscopic distance for the first time. They achieved this with the help of microwave photons generated in a narrow superconducting resonator. The results of the experiments and accompanying calculations were recently published in Nature Physics, laying the foundation for the use of coupled Andreev qubits in quantum communication and quantum computing.

Now, a team of researchers of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Germany and Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States has demonstrated a new way to study disorder in superconductors using terahertz pulses of light. Adapting methods used in nuclear magnetic resonance to terahertz spectroscopy, the team was able to follow the evolution of disorder in the transport properties up to the superconducting transition temperature for the first time.

Chunyu Guo, group leader in the Department for Microstructured Quantum Matter at the MPSD, has been awarded a Starting Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for his Free-Kagome project. He will investigate the novel effects of electronic correlations in the recently discovered AV3Sb5 family of Kagome superconductors using a sophisticated framework that isolates the samples from external influences and makes it possible to control them with extremely high precision.
