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.

Vitor Cardoso Elected President of ISGRG

The International Society on General Relativity and Gravitational (ISGRG) has elected Professor Vítor Cardoso for President during the 2028-2031 triennium.

NQCP establishes a new collaboration on digital twins for quantum device development with Prineha Narang

As quantum devices grow ever more complex, modeling and predicting their behavior becomes both more challenging and more essential. To address this, NQCP is partnering with a new research group at the Niels Bohr…

Quantum leap in precision sensing across technologies

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have developed a tunable system that paves the way for more accurate sensing in a variety of technologies, including biomedical diagnostics.

Sound Signals in Computer Chips – Almost Without Signal Loss

Assistant Professor Xiang Xi and Professor Albert Schliesser at the Niels Bohr Institute have managed to get vibrations to travel around a membrane with almost no loss. In fact, so little loss that it is far better than…

A 1960s idea inspires NBI researchers to study hitherto inaccessible quantum states

Scientists have created a new way to study the highly volatile quantum states in superconducting vortices, whose existence has been known since the 1960s, but it has been very difficult to verify them directly, until…

Top Researchers Receive Multi-Million DKK Grants from Villum Foundation

How can we recycle plastic more effectively? And how can we transmit data using less energy? Eleven top researchers receive more than DKK 300 million from Villum Foundation for research that may help answer those…

Quantum Sensing

On January 20–21, a group of CBQS researchers from DTU — Sarah, Luca, Chu-Dan, and Alex — participated in a workshop on solid-state quantum sensing and hyperpolarization in Ulm. The event addressed both experimental and…
