"Breakthrough: Overcoming Quantum Information Transmission Hurdles"

Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a new technology for transmitting quantum information over tens to a hundred micrometers, solving a longstanding problem in quantum electronics. By coupling a few electrons in a quantum dot to an electrical circuit known as a terahertz split-ring resonator, they have achieved a coherent interaction suitable for quantum information processing. This breakthrough, based on materials and procedures common in semiconductor manufacturing, could lead to practical implementation and advance the development of large-scale quantum computers.

"Graphene Ribbons: Nanoscale Heat-to-Power Conversion"

Quantum physicist Mickael Perrin is using graphene nanoribbons to build nanoscale power plants that can convert waste heat from electrical equipment into electricity with minimal loss, aiming to revolutionize the practical application of quantum technologies. His research has garnered prestigious awards and recognition, and he leads a research group at Empa while also serving as an Assistant Professor of Quantum Electronics at ETH Zurich. Perrin's work focuses on combining thermodynamics and quantum mechanics to achieve electricity production with almost zero energy loss, utilizing graphene nanoribbons with unique properties that allow for efficient conversion of thermal energy into electricity even at higher temperatures. However, there are still challenges to overcome before this technology can be practically implemented in devices like smartphones.

"Graphene Ribbons: Building Nanoscale Power Plants for Quantum Energy Generation"

Quantum physicist Mickael Perrin is researching the use of graphene nanoribbons to build nanoscale power plants that can efficiently convert thermal energy into electricity using quantum effects, with potential applications in smartphones and minisensors. His work combines thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, and has earned him prestigious research grants and fellowships. Perrin's research group at Empa has demonstrated that graphene nanoribbons can preserve quantum effects at higher temperatures, paving the way for future practical applications. However, challenges remain in scaling up and incorporating these materials into devices, with an estimated timeline of at least 15 years for practical implementation.
