Researchers at Aalto University in Finland achieved a groundbreaking record in quantum computing by measuring a transmon qubit coherence time in the millisecond range, significantly surpassing previous benchmarks and advancing the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Physicists from Aalto University have proposed a new framework suggesting that gravity emerges from hidden spacetime symmetries, potentially uniting it with the Standard Model forces and advancing the quest for a Theory of Everything. The theory introduces the spacetime dimension field, offering a promising, renormalizable approach to quantum gravity that aligns with Einstein's relativity at classical scales, though further development and experimental validation are needed.
Researchers have designed realistic photonic time crystals, which exponentially amplify light, potentially transforming fields like communication, imaging, and sensing. These materials, which oscillate in time rather than space, could lead to more efficient lasers and sensors. The study, involving Aalto University and others, proposes using silicon spheres to achieve these effects in visible light, marking a significant step towards practical applications.
The DarkQuantum consortium, consisting of global institutions, is embarking on a six-year project to detect the elusive axion particle and unravel the mysteries of dark matter. Led by researchers at Aalto University, the consortium will utilize quantum technologies to develop highly sensitive detectors, including a high-frequency sensor called a haloscope. The project aims to capitalize on quantum phenomena to filter out noise and repeat experiments with greater fidelity, potentially leading to a significant discovery comparable to the Higgs boson. The European Research Council has awarded the consortium €12.9 million to support their research.
Researchers from Aalto University have conducted a study mapping out where different types of love are felt in the body. The findings suggest that all forms of love are predominantly felt in the head, with varying intensity and reach throughout the body. The study also highlights the influence of cultural and demographic factors on the experience of love. The research provides insights into the physical and mental aspects of love and opens up further avenues for exploration in understanding the complexities of human emotions.
