An electrifying improvement in copper conductivity

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Wash., found that adding a small amount of solid carbon to copper boosts its ability to conduct electricity—industry applications abound.

Zurich Instruments joins project to entangle error-corrected qubits

Zurich Instruments, Switzerland, joins forces with two leading experimental labs at ETH Zurich and MIT, the quantum computing startup Atlantic Quantum, and leading theorists at Université de Sherbrooke and Forschungszentrum Jülich to participate in the SuperMOOSE project, which aims to entangle two error-corrected qubits and thus lay the foundation for future quantum computers.
