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.

An international team including researchers from the University of Würzburg has succeeded in creating a special state of superconductivity. This discovery could advance the development of quantum computers.

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.

Researchers at the universities of Mainz, Olomouc, and Tokyo succeeded in generating a logical qubit from a single light pulse that has the inherent capacity to correct errors.

Terra Quantum, a leading quantum technology company, published in Advanced Quantum Technologies journal the first-ever observation of room-temperature superconductivity, Global Room-Temperature Superconductivity in Graphite.

Recently, Quantinuum‘s Oxford team has made big strides in our understanding of “photonic”, or light-based, quantum computing. First, they developed a string-diagram formalism for describing linear and nonlinear optics. Then, they applied their formalism to solve outstanding problems in the field.

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have made a significant leap in the field of quantum materials by developing a novel measurement method that accurately detects minuscule temperature differences in the thermal Hall effect. This groundbreaking technique, capable of measuring temperature variations as small as 100 microkelvin, overcomes previous challenges posed by thermal noise, marking a pivotal moment in the study of quantum materials.

Princeton physicists developed a new experimental approach that precisely detects quantum mechanical fluctuations on the verge of a phase transition of a two-dimensional superconductor. The results uncover a new type of quantum phase transition that cannot be explained by the established theories used to describe phase transitions in superconductors. This research promises to propel the study of quantum condensed matter and superconductivity in new directions.
