A research team at the Duke Quantum Center has observed string-breaking dynamics related to particle-antiparticle formation on a quantum simulator. The experiment emulates a phenomenon where two connected fundamental building blocks of matter stretch apart, creating new particles when the connection snaps.
A team led by Jacob Covey has developed a new design for high-powered, stable quantum computers using helium-3, an isotope with fermionic quantum properties. This design offers a major advance over previous lithium-based designs, with faster tunneling rates and controllable motional qubits.
Researchers have developed an approach to quantify the errors in quantum simulators, allowing for more accurate calculations and enabling the study of complex many-particle systems. The new method was tested on a system of ten ions and then applied to a chain of 51 ions, demonstrating its effectiveness for larger systems.
Researchers from the Universities of Amsterdam and New South Wales have discovered ytterbium ions can remain in previously unexplored metastable states for surprisingly long times, up to 30 seconds. The findings may improve the detection of quantum bits (qubits) and their generalized analogues in ytterbium ions.
Researchers unveiled a technique to build ultra-clean 2D heterostructures using muscovite crystals, eliminating microscopic residues that disrupt electronic device performance. This method enables precise stacking of atomic layers, leading to new properties and potential breakthroughs in quantum computing and nanoelectronics.
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz successfully trapped both electrons and heavy calcium ions in the same apparatus using a new dual-frequency Paul trap. The technology has the potential to synthesize antihydrogen by capturing antiprotons and positrons simultaneously.
The Harvard team developed a new microfabrication method to produce high-performance, curved optical mirrors with extremely smooth surfaces. The mirrors can control light at near-infrared wavelengths, enabling fast and efficient quantum networking.
A new project aims to develop robust logical quantum bits for scalable and fault-tolerant quantum computing. The snaQCs2025 project combines innovative simulation and integration methods to compensate for error susceptibility of physical qubits, bringing quantum computing closer to practical use.
Researchers have demonstrated a type of quantum logic gate that drastically reduces the number of physical qubits needed for its operation. The Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code has been translated into a physical reality, allowing for the first realisation of a universal logical gate set for GKP qubits.
Qubitcore will inherit OIST's research achievements to develop next-generation fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures. The company aims to drive transformative progress in the quantum era across economic, industrial, and security domains.
