LEMONT, Ill., May 15, 2023 — Argonne National Laboratory has opened its Quantum Foundry, part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) drive to accelerate advancements in quantum information science. The Argonne Quantum Foundry is part of Q-NEXT, one of five DOE Office of Science National Quantum Information Science Research Centers. The center is designed to meet critical needs in quantum science by providing a robust national supply chain of materials for quantum devices and systems. Primarily, the foundry will be focused on the development of atomic defect-based qubits — often referred to as spin...Read full article

    quantum
    The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
    nitrogen vacancy
    A nitrogen vacancy (NV) refers to a specific type of defect or impurity in a crystal lattice where a nitrogen atom replaces a carbon atom adjacent to a vacancy (an empty lattice site) in the diamond crystal structure. The nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond is known for its unique optical and spin properties, making it a key player in various applications, particularly in quantum information processing and sensing. Key points about the nitrogen vacancy (NV) center: Formation: The NV center...
    quantum sensing
    Quantum sensing refers to a class of sensing technologies that leverage principles from quantum mechanics to enhance the precision and sensitivity of measurements. Traditional sensors operate based on classical physics, but quantum sensing exploits quantum properties, such as superposition and entanglement, to achieve improved performance in terms of accuracy, resolution, and sensitivity. Key concepts and characteristics of quantum sensing include: Superposition: Quantum sensors can...
