First quantum cryptographic data network demonstrated
A joint collaboration between Northwestern University and BBN Technologies of Cambridge, Mass., has led to the first demonstration of a truly quantum cryptographic data network. view more (2006-08-29)
Mechanics: Ordinary meets quantum
At the quantum level, the atoms that make up matter and the photons that make up light behave in a number of seemingly bizarre ways. view more (2009-06-22)
NEC, JST and RIKEN successfully demonstrate world's first controllably coupled qubits
NEC Corporation, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) have together successfully demonstrated the world's first quantum bit (qubit) circuit that can control the strength of coupling between qubits. view more (2007-05-04)
Quantum light beams good for fast technology
Australian and French scientists have made another breakthrough in the technology that will drive next generation computers and teleportation. view more (2007-08-27)
Scientists create first working model of a 2-qubit electronic quantum processor
A team led by Yale University researchers has successfully implemented simple algorithms using a quantum processor based on microwave solid-state technology--similar to that found in computers and cell phones. view more (2009-07-01)
Tossing a coin in the microcosm
When you toss a coin, you either get heads or tails. By contrast, things are not so definite at the microcosmic level. An atomic 'coin' can display a superposition of heads and tails when it has been thrown. view more (2009-07-10)
Using Carbon Nanotubes For Quantum Computing
The computing community for many years has longed to be able to to carry out high speed calculations using a genuine Quantum Computer because it would facilitate the practical factorisation of very large numbers and the searching of unordered lists and databases. The rapid breaking of secure codes based on prime numbers would have a lot of... view more... (2004-07-15)
Quantum information now readable
Chalmers researchers in Sweden, in an EU project involving colleagues from France, Holland, Germany, Italy and Finland, have shown that outdata from superconductor quantum computers can be read directly, even though the signal consists only of the presence or absence of two electrons, a so-called Cooper pair. How far away are we from a functional... view more... (2002-04-08)
Princeton scientists spy an electron dance
A team of scientists led by researchers from Princeton University has discovered a new way that electrons behave in materials. The discovery could lead to new kinds of electronic devices. view more (2008-07-28)
Atoms don't dance the 'bose nova'
Hanns-Christoph Naegerl's research group has investigated how ultracold quantum gases behave in lower spatial dimensions. They successfully realized an exotic state, where, due to the laws of quantum mechanics, atoms align along a one-dimensional structure. view more (2009-09-04)
Quantum computers could excel in modeling chemical reactions
Quantum computers would likely outperform conventional computers in simulating chemical reactions involving more than four atoms, according to scientists at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Haverford College. view more (2008-11-21)
Physicists team up to learn how quantum mechanical states break down
Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Microsoft Station Q have made significant advancements in understanding a fundamental problem of quantum mechanics -- one that is blocking efforts to develop practical quantum computers with processing speeds far superior to conventional... view more...

NRL researchers develop optical technique for controlling electron spins in quantum dot ensembles
Scientists are closer to developing novel devices for optics-based quantum computing and quantum information processing, as a result of a breakthrough in understanding how to make all the spins in an ensemble of quantum dots identical. view more (2007-11-16)
Hidden structure revealed in characteristics of transistor laser
The transistor laser, invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has been full of surprises. view more (2006-04-06)
Press invite: 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors
A laser-based system that could revolutionise both medical imaging and communications, progress towards building the first solid state `quantum` computer and developments in nanotechnology are just some the topics being featured at the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors. The five-day conference is being organised by the... view more... (2002-07-10)
Scientists create world's most efficient light-bulb
Scientists have successfully produced the most efficient light bulb ever - but on the microscopic scale. Researchers at Trinity College, Dublin have discovered a technique which significantly improves the output of light from quantum dots, and also allows their light to be focussed and manipulated easily. Their findings are published today in the... view more... (2003-08-27)
Quantum goes massive
An astrophysics experiment in America has demonstrated how fundamental research in one subject area can have a profound effect on work in another as the instruments used for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) pave the way for quantum experiments on a macroscopic scale. view more (2009-07-16)
McGill researchers squeeze light out of quantum dots
McGill University researchers have successfully amplified light with so-called "colloidal quantum dots," a technology that had been written off by many as a dead-end. view more (2009-04-03)
Fast quantum computer building block created
The fastest quantum computer bit that exploits the main advantage of the qubit over the conventional bit has been demonstrated by researchers at University of Michigan, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the University of California at San Diego. view more (2008-08-21)
Stunt doubles: Ultracold atoms could replicate the electron 'jitterbug'
Ultracold atoms moving through a carefully designed arrangement of laser beams will jiggle slightly as they go, two NIST scientists have predicted. view more (2008-03-11)
