A team of researchers from China, the Netherland and Saudi Arabia has used a new kind of electron microscopy to measure weak van der Waals interactions. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the […]
Dark Star Quantum Lab Expands Advisory Team with addition of Professor Ernesto Damiani. The group says this move deepens the scientific bench at the growing quantum technology start-up. Damiani is Senior Director of the Robotics […]
Quantum systems consisting of several particles can be used to measure magnetic or electric fields more precisely. A young physicist at the University of Basel has now proposed a new scheme for such measurements that […]
by Thomas Bohn – Executive Director of the Greater Geneva Bern area (GGBa) Switzerland is an innovation hotspot in the heart of Europe: it has been topping the Global Innovation Index for the past ten years, it […]
A team of researchers from QuTech in the Netherlands say they have developed — presumably the first — multi-node quantum network, connecting three quantum processors. In addition, they achieved a proof-of-principle demonstration of key quantum […]
The Magic of NV There seems to be a mini deluge of interest stories regarding the properties of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) diamonds for quantum sensing of late. TQD’s pieces here and here complement the profile articles we […]
As part of its Budget 2021 A Recovery Plan for Jobs, Growth, and Resilience proposal, the Canadian government has proposed spending $360 Million Canadian dollars to launch a National Quantum Strategy. The goal is to […]
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has awarded the University of Sydney’s Centre for International Security Studies (CISS) $800,000 over two years to develop accords for the ethical use of quantum technologies, according […]
The universe bets on disorder. Imagine, for example, dropping a thimbleful of red dye into a swimming pool. All of those dye molecules are going to slowly spread throughout the water. Physicists quantify this tendency […]
Artificial spin ices (ASIs) are magnetic metamaterials with exotic properties that are dependent on their geometries. Over the past few years, many physicists have studied these materials, as their unique properties could be advantageous for […]
