Spectrometers are widely used throughout industry and research to detect and analyse light. Spectrometers measure the spectrum of light – its strength at different wavelengths, like the colours in ...

Not only is Finland the clear leader in refrigeration technology for quantum computers, but it also leads in fundamental research into the underlying quantum information theory.

Entanglement is a central phenomenon of quantum mechanics. It enables two photons to be connected with each other regardless of distance, and it is the basis of the immense potential of quantum technologies. However, the continuing development of qua

In September 2020, researchers at Aalto University and VTT revealed that they had developed a high-speed nano-scale radiation detector—a bolometer—fast enough to read the qubits in a quantum computer.Now, Professor Mikko Möttönen’s team and their par

SCI researchers are partners in three new Centres of Excellence: Life-Inspired materials, Randomness and structures, and Virtual laboratory for molecular level atmospheric transformations Academy of Finland has selected 11 new Centres of Excellence, and School of Science researchers are involved in three of them: Life-Inspired Hybrid materials, Randomness and structures, and Virtual laboratory for molecular level atmospheric transformations. The new units were selected to the 2022–2029 progra...

The experimental discovery, published in Nature Communications...

An international team of scientists has shown that temperature differences in a superconductor can be used to trigger quantum entanglement.
