Quantum World-First: Researchers can Now Tell How Accurate Two-Qubit Calculations in Silicon Really are

After being the first team to create a two-qubit gate in silicon in 2015, UNSW Sydney engineers are breaking new ground again: they have measured the accuracy of silicon two-qubit operations for the first time – and their results confirm the promise of silicon for quantum computing.

Researchers Develop Flexible Electric-Double-Layer Transistor to Control Superconductivity in Strongly Correlated Materials

Cuprate high-temperature superconductors are examples of strongly correlated materials, in which superconductivity can be regulated either by altering the kinetic energy, or transfer energy, of electrons or by altering the number of electrons in the system.

International Collaboration Achieves Strong Interactions in Isolated Quantum Liquids of Excitons

For the first time, direction-dependent and strong interactions in quantum liquids of excitons have been realized by an international collaboration including European, Israeli, and US researchers. These interactions are in contrast with the spatial isotropy of the link between charged particles.

Explosions of Universe’s First Stars Spewed Powerful Jets

Several hundred million years after the Big Bang, the very first stars flared into the universe as massively bright accumulations of hydrogen and helium gas. Within the cores of these first stars, extreme, thermonuclear reactions forged the first heavier elements, including carbon, iron, and zinc.
