QD Vision will play prominently in this year’s Quantum Dots Forum, which takes place on 18th March. The forum, hosted by Smithers Apex is the only event in the US dedicated exclusively to quantum dots. More than 150 industry professionals are expected at the conference to explore market opportunities, technological developments, environmental issues and more.

In order to develop future quantum computer networks, it is necessary to hold a known number of atoms and read them without them disappearing. To do this, researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have developed a method with a trap that captures the atoms along an ultra thin glass fibre, where the atoms can be controlled. The results are published in the scientific journal, Physical Review Letters.

The European Commission has granted an exemption to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS 2) Directive for Electrical and Electronic Equipment, confirming that QD Vision’s Color IQ quantum dot technology is beneficial for the environment.

Load bearing structures that are also electronic or electrical are called structural electronics. This two-for-one approach can be more reliable, attractive and long-lived and saves space. With a vehicle, saving weight also reaps dividends, such as when devices and circuits are applied experimentally to an electric car or plane that travels much further on a single charge as a consequence.

A consortium of universities and businesses is set to bring innovative quantum technologies to market soon. The futuristic technologies include cameras which use just a single pixel to see through smoke, imaging systems which can time light to see around corners and miniature structures to create earthquake warning systems.

Signalling an expansion of the Grasshopper3 GigE Vision PoE camera line, Point Grey has released a 9.1MP CCD (Charge Couple Device) model. The Grasshopper3 GS3-PGE-91S6 model is based on colour and monochrome versions of the 1” Sony ICX814 global shutter CCD sensor, which features 3.69µm pixels and 3376x2704 pixel resolution.

Researchers from the University of Surrey and the Ben-Gurion University in Israel have uncovered a new method to detect Majorana particles. Previous attempts to find the elusive Majorana particle have been promising without providing definitive and conclusive evidence of its existence.

Quantum announced the results of industry analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group’s evaluation of Quantum’s DXi6800 deduplication and backup appliance and related data protection offerings. ESG Lab’s testing demonstrated market-leading performance, scalability and security for backup and disaster recovery. The tests also illustrated how the DXi6800 works with other elements of Quantum’s comprehensive data protection portfol...

Triton, Oxford Instruments’ cryofree dilution refrigeration system is an important component in the first commercial quantum computer system to be supplied by D-Wave Systems Inc. Vancouver based D-Wave has announced an agreement to sell a D-Wave One™ quantum computer system to a Fortune 100 company. The Triton™ system provides the low temperature environment that is essential to the performance of its quantum annealing processor...
