  1. Launch Of Geneva's First Quantum Network 10/14/2025

    On the occasion of the Swiss Quantum Industry Day, a consortium comprising the University of Geneva (UNIGE), CERN, HEPIA, ID Quantique, Rolex and the Cantonal Office for Information Systems and Digital Technology (OCSIN) announced the launch of a Geneva-based quantum network, the Geneva Quantum Network (GQN).

  2. Using Crystals And Light, Scientists Unlock New Ways To Grow Materials On-Demand 10/14/2025

    Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered how to "draw" on demand the crystals used in many crucial technologies, from solar panels and LED lighting to medical imaging.

  3. Extra Silver Atom Sparks Breakthrough In Photoluminescence Of Silver Nanoclusters 10/14/2025

    A team of researchers from Tohoku University, Tokyo University of Science, and the Institute for Molecular Science have uncovered how the precise addition of a single silver (Ag) atom can dramatically transform the light-emitting properties of high-nuclear Ag nanoclusters (NCs).

  4. Advancing Secure And High-Performance Communication Technologies For The Quantum Era 10/13/2025

    New research group Quantum Communication Systems (QCSys)’s work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern information society: ensuring trust, privacy, and resilience in global communication networks.

  5. Towards Light-Controlled Electronic Components 10/10/2025

    In the future, could our mobile phones and internet data operate using light rather than just electricity? Now, for the first time, an international research team led by CNRS researchers1 has discovered how to generate an electron gas, found for example in LED screens, by illuminating a material made up of layers of oxides2.

  6. Laying The Foundation For A Future Quantum Network – Quantum Channels Tested In Flight 10/10/2025

    It is not easy to transmit individual photons precisely from an aircraft, capture them in a ground station and detect them successfully. Researchers have, however, now managed to do exactly that.

  7. Amplifying Collective Light Emission With Atomic Interactions 10/10/2025

    A team of physicists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, the Centre for New Technologies at the University of Warsaw (Poland), and Emory University (Atlanta, USA) analysed how atoms’ mutual interactions change the way they collectively interact with light. In a paper just published in Physical Review Letters, the researchers extend established models of this phenomenon. By showing that direct atom-atom interactions can strengthen a collective burst of light known as superradiance, the team points to new opportunities for quantum technologies.

  8. Bosch, Volkswagen, Nokia And Europe's Tech Giants Unite To Secure Photonics Future In FP10 10/9/2025

    Some of Europe’s biggest industrial names, including Bosch, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Nokia Bell Labs, ZEISS, TRUMPF, and EssilorLuxottica, have joined forces to urge the European Commission to place photonics at the heart of the next EU Framework Programme (FP10).

  9. Columbia Connected To New York Quantum Network 10/9/2025

    Under perfect traffic conditions, the drive from Columbia University in Manhattan to Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island will take over an hour; try to leave during a Friday rush hour, and the time can easily double (or even triple).

  10. Infleqtion And Silicon Light Machines Partner To Boost Quantum Computer Performance 10/9/2025

    Infleqtion, a global leader in neutral atom-based quantum technology, today announced a strategic partnership with Silicon Light Machines, a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) innovator based in Silicon Valley.
