Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain calculations exponentially faster than a classic computer could, but more research is desperately needed to make their practical use a reality.

Researchers have found a clever way to make quantum dots, tiny light-emitting crystals, produce streams of perfectly controlled photons without relying on expensive, complex electronics. By using a ...

U.S.-based thin-film solar module manufacturer First Solar announced it has entered a supply agreement with UbiQD, a developer of quantum dot nanotechnology. The collaboration is expected to enable ...

Researchers created and controlled triple quantum dots in ZnO, advancing scalable quantum info tech and enabling studies of complex quantum behaviors. However, a large number of qubits are required ...

(a) The schematic of the fabricated ZnO device. Two-dimensional electron gas is formed between (Mg, Zn)O and ZnO. Quantum dots are formed by applying gate voltage to this two-dimensional electron gas.
