Cambridge partners in new €1 billion European Quantum Flagship
29 October 2018The University of Cambridge is a partner in the €1 billion Quantum Flagship, an EU-funded initiative to develop quantum technologies across Europe.
Cambridge launches UK’s first quantum network
13 June 2018The UK’s first quantum network was launched today in Cambridge, enabling ‘unhackable’ communications, made secure by the laws of physics, between three sites around the city.
Ultra-thin quantum LEDs could accelerate development of quantum networks
07 October 2016Researchers have developed all-electrical ultra-thin quantum LEDs, which have potential as on-chip photon sources in quantum information applications, including quantum networks for quantum computers.
A tight squeeze for electrons – quantum effects observed in ‘one-dimensional’ wires
15 September 2016Researchers have observed quantum effects in electrons by squeezing them into one-dimensional ‘quantum wires’ and observing the interactions between them. The results could be used to aid in the development of quantum technologies, including quantum computing.
Gone in 45 nanoseconds – but a new opportunity for quantum control?
22 December 2014In a breakthrough study scientists have revealed the coherence, or the visibility lifespan, of the spin of an electron in an emerging colour centre in diamond. This could provide a potential component for future quantum networks.
