Microsoft announced a trio of announcements particularly aimed at advancing computational chemistry and material science discovery using their Azure service, HPC, AI, and quantum technologies. The goal of these efforts, as stated by Microsoft CEO […]
Insider Brief SandboxAQ announced AQBioSim, its bio-pharma molecular simulation division, has emerged from stealth. The division also includes customers that are among the heavyweights of the bio-pharma industry, including AstraZeneca and Sanofi. These companies are […]
Excitons are electron-hole pairs in semiconductors that are electrostatically bound by strong Coulombic interactions. In ultrathin 2D semiconductors that are a few atoms thick (typically ~0.7 nm), the decreased z-dimension presents strong quantum confinement and […]
A new type of miniature atomic clock could provide better timing over the span of weeks and months compared with current systems. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with […]
When a photon interacts with a material, an interaction occurs that causes its atoms to change their quantum state (a description of the physical properties of nature at the atomic level). The resulting state is […]
Quantum 7, 1042 (2023). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2023-06-21-1042 We study the phenomenon of cosmological particle production of Dirac fermions in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime, focusing on a $(1+1)-$dimensional case in which the evolution of the scale factor is set […]
The discovery of the quantum Hall effects in the 1980s revealed the existence of novel states of matter called “Laughlin states,” in honor of the American Nobel prize winner who successfully characterized them theoretically. These […]
On a Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2021, Silvio Decurtins was leafing through a paper with a title that could have been pulled from a comic book for mathematically inclined teens: “Plato’s Cube and […]
Researchers at MPQ in Garching, together with a team from TU Munich, have excited erbium atoms embedded in crystalline silicon such that they emit single photons. Their special properties can form the basis for the […]
The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites applications for two research assistant position for two years funded by EPSRC to work on the Benchmarking Quantum Advantage at the recently created Quantum Software Lab, the […]
