Quantum science defies classical physics. It questions the understanding that particles exist in multiple states simultaneously (superposition), particles influencing each other over great distances (entanglement), and the probabilistic nature of particle behaviour.
Quantum science research is exploding, and with the UN declaring 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we felt it was only right to do a special focus newsletter on quantum physics developments.
Researchers at Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) have enhanced the stability of diamond-based qubits, specifically tin-vacancy centers, extending their coherence time to 10 milliseconds. This advancement paves the way for ultra-secure quantum communication by allowing the manipulation of electron spins using light.
Their findings are crucial for developing scalable quantum communication and computing systems, bringing this revolutionary technology closer to practical applications.
Optical storage, which uses light to read and write data, is emerging as a solution to current storage technologies
A new approach developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) , Argonne National Laboratory and the 美国芝加哥大学 ’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering could significantly enhance the capacity, speed, and energy efficiency of optical storage systems.
In a groundbreaking move for quantum technology, IBM has launched its first quantum data centre in Europe, marking a significant milestone for the continent’s role in advancing quantum computing.
The Max Planck–New York Center on Non-Equilibrium Quantum Phenomena has secured funding to continue its groundbreaking research on quantum materials for an additional five years.
This collaboration, originally established between 美国哥伦比亚大学 , the Flatiron Institute, and two Max Planck Institutes in Germany, will now include 美国康奈尔大学 . The centre’s expansion aims to deepen research into the unique properties of quantum materials, which hold significant potential for advancements in technologies such as quantum computing, sensors, and networks.
The European Commission has revealed a major investment of €65m to drive innovation in quantum chips in the EU.
Managed by the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU), a European partnership established to reinforce the EU’s semiconductor sector, the funding aims to support the development of quantum chips for computing and sensors.
