Clever algorithm results in a new method to mitigate noise in quantum devices

Quantum researchers have deployed a new algorithm to manage noise in qubits in real time. The method can be applied to a wide range of different qubits, even in large numbers.

Photonics Characterization

In the photonics characterization team, we characterize the optical properties of integrated photonic circuits and components relevant for quantum technologies.

Electronic Characterization

In the electronic characterization team, we characterize the electronic properties of materials and sub-components for qubits.

Qubit Characterization

In the qubit characterization team, we focus on developing protocols and methods for characterization of superconducting and spin qubit components and processors. Our Maybell dilution refrigerator is equipped with a…

Structural and Materials Characterization

The Structural and Material Characterization team is dedicated to comprehensive analysis of structural features and material properties.

Denmark can now contribute to producing world-class chips

For the first time, Denmark is establishing production of microchip wafers at the leading standard. This makes Denmark a global player in chip production. The new “wafer factory,” which will be part of the University of…

Tycho supercomputer gets new green superpowers

With a new expansion of the Tycho supercomputer, the University of Copenhagen will get its first water-cooled and green supercomputer, that will be a virtual laboratory that supports research of the University.

A quantum leap in sensing the quietest signals in nature

By combining two strange quantum effects – light that is entangled and atoms that act as if they have negative mass – scientists have built a new kind of sensor that cancels out quantum noise, even at room temperature.

Intergalactic experiment: Researchers hunt for mysterious dark matter particle with clever trick

Physicists use magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe black holes in their search for a particle that has stumped scientists for decades.
