Aalto University participates in Finnish physics education network
A network focused on sharing physics education materials is being set up by nine Finnish universities with the help of a grant from the Ministry of Education and Culture
Researchers aim to correct quantum errors at super-cold temperatures instead of room temperature
One of the major challenges in the development of quantum computers is that the quantum bits, or qubits, are too imprecise. More efficient quantum error correction is therefore needed to make quantum computers more widely available in the future. Professor Mikko Möttönen has proposed a novel solution for quantum error correction and has received a three-year grant from the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation to develop it.
In a first, physicists show how to use the Helmi quantum computer in Finland to design topological quantum materials
A team of Aalto researchers demonstrated how the Finnish quantum computer Helmi can be used to understand topological quantum materials, providing a stepping stone to designing exotic quantum materials with quantum computers
Twisted multiferroics discovery makes new kinds of topological spintronic devices possible
Research into moiré patterns in two-dimensional van der Waals materials provides a new way to engineer quantum matter that may lead to more energy-efficient memory storage and improved quantum technologies
