Quantum Control Breakthrough a Game Changer for Next-Gen Electronics and Computers – SciTechDaily
Penn State researchers unveil an electrical method to modify electron flow in quantum materials, paving the way for advanced electronics and quantum computers. For the first time, researchers demonstrated how to electronically alter the direction of electron flow in promising materials for quantum computing. A new electrical method to conveniently change the direction of electron flow in some quantum materials could have implications for the development of next-generation electronic devices and quantum computers.
How Does A Quantum Superfluid Feel Like To The Touch? – IFLScience
Quantum mechanics affects the small and tiny usually, but at extremely low temperatures quantum behavior can become macroscopic. This is the case of helium, which can be a superfluid: a liquid that flows without losing any kinetic energy
Imperfections may affect quantum materials’ unusual behavior more … – University at Buffalo
In the field of materials science, disorder gets a bad rap. Disorder imperfections in a materials structure is typically something to be avoided, especially when synthesizing quantum materials whose exotic properties offer great potential for superconductors and ultrafast computers. Yet every material has some amount of disorder, and for some, disorder may explain why they exhibit their exciting properties in the first place

5 U-M researchers named American Physical Society fellows – University of Michigan News
Four University of Michigan physics researchers and one biophysicist were elected to the American Physical Society, each from a different field within physics. The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who may have made advances in physics through original research and publication, or made significant innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology. They may also have significantly contributed to the teaching of physics or through service and participation in the activities of the society.
Researchers to test Einstein’s predictions of general relativity atop … – University of Colorado Boulder
Imagine being able to measure tiny changes in the flow of time caused by Earths gravity with atomic clocks atop one of Colorados iconic peaks above 14,000 feet. That could soon be a reality thanks to a $1.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation that will advance geodesy the study of accurately measuring Earths geometric shape, orientation in space and gravity field through the use of quantum sensors, some of the most precise in the world. Scott Diddams, professor in CU Boulders Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering(ECEE), is collaborating on this four-year, multi-agency effort with physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
First-of-its-kind quantum technology degree launched by University of Sussex – Yahoo News UK
Students on the new Sussex degree will have the chance to help build a quantum computer (Photo: Submitted) The University of Sussex has launched a new quantum technology degree, the first in the UK to offer undergraduate students quantum technology research experience from day one of their degree. Typically, students dont contribute to research until their final year of study.

A Six Year Search for Purely Theoretical Axions is Going Deep … – The Debrief
Physicists embarking on a hunt for proof of theoretical particles known as axions are preparing to go into a deep underground laboratory for the next six years. Part of the DarkQuantum effort, which recently received a 12.9 million grant from the European Research Council to conduct the search, the research team hopes to find evidence that dark matter is actually made up of previously undetectable axions
