Pushing the frontier of photonic quantum hardware

The project team aims to lay the foundation for future scalable photonic quantum technologies.

Scalable quantum information technology that processes information according to the laws of quantum mechanics is one of the main goals of current quantum physics research. Such quantum technologies can solve problems, which are impossible with the technology of today. In a new project, researchers from the University of Copenhagen, the University of Basel and Ruhr University Bochum will join forces... read more

Light switch for electrons

Researchers create conductive interface in nickelate materials

UV light can be used to switch an extremely conductive state on and off at the interface between two oxide materials - in a matter of seconds. This newly discovered "light switch for electrons" marks a milestone on the way to light-controlled electronics and could also be used in superconductivity in the future. The journal Nature Materials reports. Part of the international team are Materials Chain... read more

Quantum noise tamed in the tunnel effect

When disruptions become useful

What is usually considered a disturbance can be surprisingly useful under certain conditions: noise. Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen have shown how the random noise caused by the quantum mechanical tunnel effect - a phenomenon that is also the focus of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics - can be specifically influenced. The results, which have now been published in Communications Physics,... read more
