Quantum simulator for electronical control of diamond spin qubits

The world of quantum computing is still quickly developing and growing as it is searching for the best technology to implement quantum bits. One of these technologies is a diamond-based quantum computer using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. In order to sustain the mentioned growth, the limits of electronics as well as computer engineering need to...

2D Lattice Materials for Actuation

Externally triggered lengthening or shortening (actuation) of one or more members in a lattice material can be used to achieve macroscopic shape changes. The three main attributes looked for in 2D lattice materials to be deemed suitable for actuation are in-plane isotropy, high specific elastic properties and limited energy requirement for...

An experimental microarchitecture for a superconducting qantum processor

Quantum computers promise to solve certain problems that are intractable for classical computers, such as factoring large numbers and simulating quantum systems. To date, research in quantum computer engineering has focused primarily at opposite ends of the required system stack: devising high-level programming languages and compilers to...
