CQP Researchers win New Enterprise Competition
A new technology by CQP researchers which will help to ensure data is secure has won the University of Bristol's equivalent to Dragon's Den and a share of over £35,000 prize money.
Transmission of torque at small scales: the nanoclutch
A model microscopic system to demonstrate the transmission of torque in the presence of thermal fluctuations – necessary for the creation of a tiny 'clutch' operating at the nanoscale – has been assembled at the University of Bristol as part of an international collaboration.
Entangled photons unlock new super-sensitive characterization of quantum technology
Scientists and engineers from the University of Bristol, UK, and the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore have published work in the June issue of Optica. They demonstrate a new protocol for estimating unknown optical processes, called unitary operations, with precision enhanced by the unique properties of quantum mechanics. This could lead to both dramatically better sensors for medical research and new approaches to benchmark the performance ultra-powerful quantum computers.
