Through a new Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) awarded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, researchers from Brown University will lead an effort to study new optical materials and their interactions with light quantum scale. The initiative, titled Quantum Metaphotonics and Quantum Metamaterials, will receive $4.5 million over three years, with a possible two-year extension.
Researchers consider quantum dots to hold great potential for technological applications. The nanoscale semiconductor materials are easy to synthesize and their behavior is akin to that of single atoms. In order to capitalize on the unique properties of quantum dots, it is essential to understand the behavior of electrons contained inside quantum dots.
The new headquarters of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo was opened on 21, September 2012. Over 1,000 guests and dignitaries attended the opening ceremony of the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre.
A consortium based in Tampere University of Technology (TUT) has received €1.6 million grant from the Academy of Finland under its ‘Programmable Materials’ funding scheme.
North Dakota State University’s assistant professor for chemistry and biochemistry, Dr. Svetlana Kilina, has received the prestigious Early Career Research Program award from the United States Department of Energy for her research on quantum dots titled “Modeling of Photoexcited Process at Interfaces of Functionalized Quantum Dots.”
Collaborative research between the University of Vienna, the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ), the University of Oxford and the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore demonstrate the possibility of remote preparation of quantum states as a result of quantum discord.
A team of scientists from the King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) and University of Toronto (U of T) headed by Ted Sargent, an U of T Engineering Professor, has achieved a significant progress in the advancement of colloidal quantum dot (CQD) films, which in turn results in a CQD solar cell with an unprecedented efficiency of 7%.
Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) have conducted an experiment to study the relationship between imperfections in some materials and quantum coherence at low temperatures. The findings of the study will help in developing improved quantum devices like the superconducting magnets.
A research team comprising Drs. Takaaki Mano, Yoshiki Sakuma and Masafumi Jo from the Photonic Materials Unit of the National Institute for Materials Science is involved in the development of a sophisticated self-assembling technology known as droplet epitaxy for semiconductor quantum dots.
A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge and National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has achieved a significant progress in utilizing nano-devices to generate well-defined electrical currents.
