We've now detailed the second core superconducting technology we developed at CFS for our fusion machines: PIT VIPER cables. Four years from idea to manufacturing, which is a breakneck pace for new magnet tech. Peer reviewed paper so people don't just have to take our word for it.

Quantum researchers realized about four years ago that cosmic radiation limits the lifetime of #superconducting #qubits, which is a problem as there's a lot bout. Two detectors at Fermilab are going to see if there are ways to limit the damage. #QuantumComputers #physics pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/arti

In recent years, physicists have used #nematicity to describe a coordinated shift that drives a material into a #superconducting state. Strong interactions between electrons cause the material as a whole to stretch infinitesimally, like microscopic taffy, in one particular direction that allows electrons to flow freely in that direction.

Intel Enters the Quantum Computing Horse Race With 12-Qubit Chip

#Intel has built a #quantum #processor called #Tunnel #Falls that it will offer to research labs hoping to make the revolutionary computing technology practical.

The Tunnel Falls processor, announced Thursday, houses 12 qubits, the fundamental quantum data processing elements.

It's a major step in the chipmaker's attempt to develop quantum computing hardware it hopes will eventually surpass rivals.

One notable feature of quantum computing is the tremendous variety of approaches. Intel is using electrons, storing data via quantum mechanical #spin, that's analogous to the two directions a top can spin.

#IBM and #Google are using small electrical circuits of #superconducting materials.

#IonQ and #Quantinuum manipulate #charged #atoms stored in a #trap.

Other approaches involve #neutral atoms and even #photons.

CNETIntel Enters the Quantum Computing Horse Race With 12-Qubit ChipBut before quantum physics revolutionizes computing, Intel and rivals will have to learn how to make vastly more powerful machines.

Technical staff at the U.S. Department of Energy’s #Fermi National #Accelerator Laboratory have completed a prototype of a special #superconducting #cryomodule, the first of its kind in the world. The national lab is home of the Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II, a project to upgrade Fermilab’s #particle accelerator complex.

Currently looking to #hire #quantum #engineers at #NTU #Singapore.

Dunno what is: quantum engineering? No worries, you will program in #python quantum mechanical protocols and throughout the 1 year you will learn it deeply because the tasks will be directly applicable to #superconducting qubit hardware developed by the group of Prof. Dumke.

If you like quantum mechanics and would like to code in python then you are encouraged to apply!

#introduction

Hi all, I am Alberto, I enjoy #science, #physics, #music, #cooking!

I've been living in #helsinki, #finland for more than 6 years now, but I am from #bergamo, #italy.

I work as a #research #scientist, specialized in #cryogenics and #superconducting #electronics and #qubits.

I support #openscience and #libre software, been using #linux #os for more than 20 years.

I hope to find interesting discussions here in this #mastodon instance: nice to meet you all!
