Cobalt honeycombs open a new path to quantum computing

6Junetheck1Quantum Technology

May 28, 2026 Honeycombs are famous for their elegant design, but now they may have found a new application: quantum computing. To collect knowledge from subatomic particles, quantum computers require carefully designed materials capable of performing necessary, complex functions. However, the metals used, such as ruthenium and iridium, are often rare and expensive, limiting the

Quantum pendulum clock overcomes classical accuracy limits and sheds light on quantum to classical transitions

6Junetheck1Quantum Technology

May 28, 2026 In a grandfather clock, a pendulum swings back and forth and this periodic motion is maintained using the energy stored in its suspended weights. This is done with the help of the escapement mechanism, which converts the gravitational energy of the weights into impulses that drive the pendulum, which then moves the

Quantum vibronics research points to future energy and computing technologies

6Junetheck1Quantum Technology

May 28, 2026 Scientists at the University of California, Riverside are making breakthroughs in understanding how quantum wave functions move across ultra-thin materials—research that could eventually improve solar energy technologies and help lay the groundwork for new forms of quantum computing.

‘Atom Camera’ maps laser light at nanoscale using a single ultracold atom

6Junetheck1Quantum Technology

May 29, 2026 A research group led by Assistant Professor Takafumi Tomita and Professor Kenji Ohmori at the Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, has developed a new microscopy technique called the Atom Camera, which uses a single ultracold atom at near absolute zero temperature trapped in an optical tweezer as a

Topological states emerge in quantum Hall-superconductor devices with multiple channels

6Junetheck1Quantum Technology

May 29, 2026 Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material’s overall structure (i.e., “topology”), as opposed to microscopic details. These phases are of great interest for the development of quantum technologies, as they can yield desirable electronic properties that are robust against defects and disturbances. Read
