W E Q U A N T U M Quantum Dots Explained ✍️ Quantum dots are tiny particles of a special kind of material called a semiconductor. They are so small that they behave differently from normal materials. They can absorb and emit light of different colors depending on their size and shape. You can think of quantum dots as artificial atoms that can be made in a lab! They have some of the same properties as atoms, such as having discrete energy levels (meaning they can only exist in certain distinct energy states, and they cannot have energy values between these specific levels) and being able to form molecules with other quantum dots. But they also have some unique features that make them useful for many applications, such as displays, solar cells, sensors, and medicine. #nonearthmaterials #quantumTechmining #greenchemistry #nowaste

#quantumcomputing 💡 A team from Aalto University has managed to measure qubits by using bolometers, instead of parametric amplifiers. This method enables single-shot qubit readout with minimal quantum noise, and consumes significantly less power than traditional amplifiers. Such an innovation could greatly enhance the scalability of quantum computers by reducing the size and energy consumption of the measurement process. Reference: András M. Gunyhó, Single-Shot Readout of a Superconducting Qubit Using a Thermal Detector, Nature Electronics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41928-024-01147-7
Team is first ever to measure qubits with ultrasensitive thermal detectors, evading Heisenberg uncertainty principle

New Diamond Bonding Technique..... New developments are happening in quantum technology with a breakthrough in diamond bonding techniques, led by researchers from the University of Chicago. They’ve developed a method to bond diamonds directly with materials like silicon and lithium niobate, which opens the door to creating advanced quantum and conventional electronic devices. Previously, diamonds despite their thermal conductivity and chemical stability could only bond well with other diamonds, making their integration into electronic devices challenging and costly. With this new bonding technique allows for the use of ultra-thin diamond membranes (as thin as 100 nanometres) in electronics, maintaining all of diamond's properties. This step forward is great for quantum computing and sensors, as diamonds with nitrogen-vacancy centres are perfect for quantum applications. The technique could lead to more practical and scalable quantum devices, potentially revolutionizing industries from quantum sensing to everyday electronics like phones and computers.....
