They are thus a promising tool in many areas of fundamental science, including biological imaging as well as physics. Of the many different systems being pursued as quantum sensors, trapped ions could ...

It is assumed that an undiscovered “fifth force” likely exists between neutrons in an atom’s nucleus and the electrons ...

Trapped-ion technologies are an incredibly useful tool in physics. They are a leading candidate to build the quantum bits, or qubits, that make up quantum computers because ions are relatively easy to ...

Innovations such as Trapped Ion Mobility (TIMS), smartbeam and scanning lasers for MALDI-MS Imaging that deliver true pixel fidelity, and eXtreme Resolution FTMS (XR) technology capable to reveal ...

On Thursday, the startup IonQ announced that the next generation of its ion-trap quantum computer was ready for use. The new machine marks a major jump for the company, going from 11 qubits up to 32.

ZuriQ, a spin-out from ETH Zurich in Switzerland, has raised $4.2mn to commercialise a new chip architecture that could dramatically increase the number of qubits a trapped-ion quantum computer ...

To study the mAb structure, Bleiholder worked with Melvin A. Park at Bruker Daltonics, to develop a groundbreaking technique ...

In near-field imaging, resolution beyond the diffraction limit of optical microscopy is obtained by scanning the sampling region with a probe of subwavelength size1. In recent experiments, single ...

For the first time, researchers have designed a fully connected 32-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer register operating at cryogenic temperatures. The new system represents an important step ...

Trapped-ion-based sensors could enable scientists to explore new regimes in materials ... These absolute and relative sizes indicate that real-space imaging of ion excitation is not ...
