A candid debate on AI in research, a warning about quantum-era data security and the Forum's first participant-driven "Un-Conference" defined a week that brought 21 laureates together with 200 young researchers from more than 50 countries
EHU researchers Urko Petralanda and Luis Elcoro, in collaboration with DIPC researchers, report the article titled “Two-dimensional topological quantum chemistry and catalog of topological materials”, published in Science, that maps the electronic properties of nearly 9,000 single-layer materials and identifies more than 4,000 topologically non-trivial or obstructed entries.
A research team led by faculty at the Duke Quantum Center (DQC) has observed string-breaking dynamics related to particle-antiparticle formation on a quantum simulator, one of the first in the quantum-physics field.
As quantum computing moves from the laboratory into real-world applications, Florida Atlantic University quantum technology leader Robert Loredo offers organizations a practical roadmap for preparing for the era of quantum advantage. In his new book, Quantum Readiness for Leaders, published by Packt Publishing, Loredo explores how executives and technology leaders can develop quantum strategies, build specialized teams, forge partnerships, protect data, address post-quantum cybersecurity threats and identify opportunities to harness quantum technologies for business and society.
