Our nation's security depends on the effective detection of nuclear materials at our borders and beyond. To address this challenge, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) physicist Moussa N'Gom, Ph.D., is leading research aimed at developing a quantum sensing probe to detect and characterize special nuclear materials precisely and without contact.
In a recent study published in the journal Science, researchers from Stanford University have now discovered that electron pairing, a crucial property of a superconductor, happens in an unexpected material an antiferromagnetic insulator, and at temperatures far higher than previously believed.
Scientists from the University of Nottingham, working with an international team, have exposed the strictest limitations yet on the existence of magnetic monopoles in a study reported in Physical Review Letters, consequently stretching the boundaries of knowledge about these elusive particles.
As part of the Q-NEXT collaboration, Nitin Samarth is helping grow the capabilities of the Argonne Quantum Foundry. He’s also building a library of atom-scale materials for quantum technologies — and he’s sharing it with everyone.

Terra Quantum, a leader in quantum technology solutions, has developed a new image analysis system that performs better than classical methods in identifying healthy livers that are the best candidates for transplantation while protecting patient privacy.
Scientists from Yale University and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a systematic approach to understanding how energy is lost from the materials that make up qubits. Energy loss inhibits the performance of these quantum computer building blocks, so determining its sources -- and adjusting the materials as necessary -- can help bring researchers closer to designing quantum computers that could revolutionize several scientific fields.
VTT’s main roles in the project are to develop photodetectors, analog and digital cryo-electronics and thermal management tools.
A star material for hosting quantum information, diamond nevertheless presents a challenge: Signals from the bits of quantum information embedded in diamond are often messy and inconsistent.
Researchers developed a novel hybrid quantum framework combining deep learning (DL) with quantum computing to improve lung cancer detection from CT and CXR images. The framework achieved state-of-the-art accuracy, significantly outperforming conventional methods, and demonstrated enhanced scalability and processing speed.
