Research Bits: May 11


Non-destructive terahertz inspection Researchers from Adelaide University, Virginia Diodes, the Hasso Plattner Institute, and the University of Potsdam used terahertz waves to observe electrical activity inside fully packaged semiconductor devices as they are operating. The technique relies on an ultra-sensitive detection system using a specialized homodyne quadrature receiver, which can pi... » read more

System Bits: Oct. 25


Scalable quantum computers In what they say is a significant step towards to the realization of a scalable quantum computer, researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo led the development of a new extensible wiring technique capable of controlling superconducting quantum bits. The quantum socket is a wiring method that uses 3D based on spring-lo... » read more
