Published An innovative twist on quantum bits: Tubular nanomaterial of carbon makes ideal home for spinning quantum bits


Scientists develop method for chemically modifying nanoscale tubes of carbon atoms, so they can host spinning electrons to serve as stable quantum bits in quantum technologies.
Published The future of touch


Haptic holography promises to bring virtual reality to life, but a new study reveals a surprising physical obstacle that will need to be overcome.
Published Quantum chemistry: Molecules caught tunneling


Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly in theory. The scientists provide an important reference for this fundamental effect in chemistry. It is the slowest reaction with charged particles ever observed.
Published Augmented reality headset enables users to see hidden objects


Researchers developed an augmented reality headset called X-AR that combines computer vision and wireless perception to find hidden objects in a room and then guide the wearer to retrieve the targeted item.
Published New material may offer key to solving quantum computing issue


A new form of heterostructure of layered two-dimensional (2D) materials may enable quantum computing to overcome key barriers to its widespread application, according to an international team of researchers.
Published Breakthrough in tin-vacancy centers for quantum network applications


Tin-vacancy (Sn-V) centers in diamond have the potential to function as quantum nodes in quantum networks to transmit information. However, they pose limitations while showing optical properties to generate quantum entanglement. Researchers have now overcome this challenge by generating stable Sn-V centers that can produce photons with nearly identical frequencies and linewidths, paving the way for the advancement of Sn-V centers as a quantum-light matter interface.
Published Let there be (controlled) light


In the very near future, quantum computers are expected to revolutionize the way we compute, with new approaches to database searches, AI systems, simulations and more. But to achieve such novel quantum technology applications, photonic integrated circuits which can effectively control photonic quantum states -- the so-called qubits -- are needed. Physicists have made a breakthrough in this effort: for the first time, they demonstrated the controlled creation of single-photon emitters in silicon at the nanoscale.
Published Theory can sort order from chaos in complex quantum systems


Theoretical chemists have developed a theory that can predict the threshold at which quantum dynamics switches from 'orderly' to 'random,' as shown through research using large-scale computations on photosynthesis models.
Published The quantum twisting microscope: A new lens on quantum materials


One of the striking aspects of the quantum world is that a particle, say, an electron, is also a wave, meaning that it exists in many places at the same time. Researchers make use of this property to develop a new type of tool -- the quantum twisting microscope (QTM) -- that can create novel quantum materials while simultaneously gazing into the most fundamental quantum nature of their electrons.
Published Wireless, soft e-skin for interactive touch communication in the virtual world


Sensing a hug from each other via the internet may be a possibility in the near future. A research team recently developed a wireless, soft e-skin that can both detect and deliver the sense of touch, and form a touch network allowing one-to-multiuser interaction. It offers great potential for enhancing the immersion of distance touch communication.
Published Hands-free tech adds realistic sense of touch in extended reality


Researchers have demonstrated a new hands-free approach to convey realistic haptic feedback in virtual reality (VR). Their 'multisensory pseudo-haptics' uses a combination of headset visuals and tactile feedback from a wrist bracelet to convey sensations of touch.
Published How can the metaverse improve public health?


The metaverse is a technological revolution in the field of virtual reality, with potential benefits to public health research. A new article proposes several new ways in which the metaverse can help us design, test, and experience health-promoting environments to minimize the risk of non-communicable diseases.
Published New quantum sensing technique reveals magnetic connections


A research team demonstrates a new way to use quantum sensors to tease out relationships between microscopic magnetic fields.
Published Engineers discover a new way to control atomic nuclei as 'qubits'


Researchers propose a new approach to making qubits, the basic units in quantum computing, and controlling them to read and write data. The method is based on measuring and controlling the spins of atomic nuclei, using beams of light from two lasers of slightly different colors.
Published Proposed quantum device may succinctly realize emergent particles such as the Fibonacci anyon


Tenacity has taken a roadblock and turned it into a possible route to the development of quantum computing.
Published Securing supply chains with quantum computing


New research in quantum computing is moving science closer to being able to overcome supply-chain challenges and restore global security during future periods of unrest.
Published When the light is neither 'on' nor 'off' in the nanoworld


Scientists detect the quantum properties of collective optical-electronic oscillations on the nanoscale. The results could contribute to the development of novel computer chips.
Published Researchers detail never-before-seen properties in a family of superconducting Kagome metals


Researchers have used an innovative new strategy combining nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and a quantum modeling theory to describe the microscopic structure of Kagome superconductor RbV3Sb5 at 103 degrees Kelvin, which is equivalent to about 275 degrees below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

Researchers are using emerging technology to demonstrate a process that will enable more immersive and realistic virtual and augmented reality displays with the world's smallest and thinnest micro-LEDs.
Published Scientists boost quantum signals while reducing noise


Researchers have developed a special type of amplifier that uses a technique known as squeezing to amplify quantum signals by a factor of 100 while reducing the noise that is inherent in quantum systems by an order of magnitude. Their device is the first to demonstrate squeezing over a broad frequency bandwidth of 1.75 gigahertz, nearly two orders of magnitude higher than other architectures.
