The Feasibility Of Deploying FPGA-Based TCEP Synchronization In Real-World Quantum Networks


Precise time synchronization is a key challenge in building distributed quantum systems – and it plays a crucial role in secure communications, quantum computing, sensing, the foundations of future 6G networks and the quantum internet. In the paper titled "TCEP-Based Synchronization for Practical Communication Network,"researchers from TU Dresden, IIT Dharwad, Fraunhofer Institute for Inte... » read more

Research Bits: June 4


Ultra-pure silicon Researchers from the University of Manchester and University of Melbourne developed a technique to engineer ultra-pure silicon that could be used in the construction of high-performance qubit devices that extend quantum coherence times. The highly purified silicon chips house and protect the qubits so they can sustain quantum coherence much longer, enabling complex calcul... » read more
