➡️ Reading out a qubit reliably starts with one thing: getting it to talk to a photon. EeroQ just achieved that for our electron-on-helium platform, demonstrating strong coupling between a single trapped electron and a single microwave photon. 🤝 Phys.org has a nice write-up on what it means and why it matters, including insight from our CSO and senior author, Prof. Johannes Pollanen: https://lnkd.in/gvaEPQEh Image by: Kyle Castoria #quantum #quantumcomputing

➡️ New work from our team: our CSO Professor Johannes Pollanen and Director of Quantum Dr. Niyaz Beysengulov are co-authors on "Electrons on Helium and Entangled Quantum Sensors for Particle Physics," now on arXiv. The paper proposes using entangled electron qubits trapped on superfluid helium as a new class of quantum sensor, with the potential to detect rare, high-energy particle events beyond the reach of classical detectors. Work done in collaboration with CERN's DRD5 initiative. 📄 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gJ5HtZdJ Congrats to Johannes, Niyaz, and all co-authors! #QuantumComputing #QuantumSensing #ParticlePhysics #Qubits

Today in Nature Physics: the world’s first demonstration of strong coupling between a microwave photon and a single electron floating on liquid helium. A milestone 27 years in the making! “Strong coupling” is fundamentally important in quantum science, a regime where a qubit and the photons used to measure it interact so strongly and cleanly that quantum information can be exchanged between them before it's lost to noise. This enables quantum entanglement between the qubit and photon, the key property that gives quantum computers their extraordinary power. By demonstrating the strong coupling of a microwave photon to an electron on helium we have unlocked the ability to manipulate and read out quantum information in this system. And this is just the beginning; our scheme now serves as the mechanism to read out the spin qubit state of the electron, which is expected to offer significantly superior qubit quality. We are proud of our team and everyone who contributed to this achievement. And shout-out to everyone who believed in this approach since it was first proposed in 1999 by Nokia Bell Labs and Michigan State University. 👏 Read more in Crain's Chicago Business: https://lnkd.in/gwUxZ6B6

📍 EeroQ in Japan! 🇯🇵 Our CTO, Professor Stephen Lyon, and CSO, Professor Johannes Pollanen, are at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology this week for the Solid State Systems for Quantum Information Processing conference. 📸 : Steve presenting electrons bound to superfluid helium - the foundation of our approach to scalable quantum computing. Can you spot the easter egg on his slide? 🦆 Grateful to OIST for hosting and for bringing together this global community of quantum researchers! #quantumcomputing #oist #solidstatesystems #scalable

🪂 Special delivery! 🪂 Our new Zero Point Cryogenics cryostat is in the lab, and it is full of potential! 👏 To add to the excitement, Abhilasha Ramesh has joined our Fabrication Engineer team, and Dr. Maksim Gomanko has joined our team of quantum engineers to spearhead the ZPC department. Welcome!! 👏 ✅ More equipment ✅ More engineers ✅ More systems running in parallel 👉 This is what scaling experimental capacity looks like. #scaling #quantumcomputing #welcometotheteam #quantumprairie

📸 Cool hardware... Literally!

📚 Quantum computing is no longer just a physicist's problem; it's a lawyer's too! ➡️ Hannah Parnes, EeroQ's Head of Policy & Government Affairs, was recently featured in the ABA Journal alongside leading voices in quantum law and policy. The article explores how the legal community is racing to keep pace with a field attracting billions in investment and reshaping everything from encryption standards to export controls. ➡️ Hannah also served as an advisor to The Quantum Law Navigator, a landmark resource mapping the U.S. policy, legal, and regulatory landscape of the quantum industry. This live document is a communal effort spearheaded by Barnes & Thornburg LLP and the Chicago Quantum Exchange. ✳️ Link to EeroQ article: https://lnkd.in/gAF8SeAm ✳️ The Quantum Law Navigator PDF linked in the comments! #thequantumlawnavigator #innovation #quantumprairie

Our friends at Conductor Quantum just published a piece about where quantum engineering is headed: labs that run themselves. We are excited to be part of the proof of concept that made it real. 💡 Conductor Quantum lays out the full picture clearly: the spectrum from scripted to automated to truly autonomous, why algorithms and agents play different roles, and how this changes not just experimentation but the entire operational model of a quantum lab. 🔗 🧑💻 Read the breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/gmHB_TbH

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining EeroQ Corporation this summer as a Quantum Engineering Intern! In this role, I’ll be working with EeroQ’s QE team on tools that support the design and simulation workflow for quantum hardware, including microwave circuitry and finite element modeling for micro- and nano-device systems. I’m especially excited to contribute at the intersection of quantum engineering, hardware design, and computational tools. Thank you to everyone at EeroQ for this opportunity. I’m looking forward to learning from and contributing to the team this summer!

EeroQ is honored to be part of Quantum Across Illinois, a statewide initiative connecting students from campuses across the region to explore the future of quantum and the careers it will create. ✏️ This effort spans from Illinois state schools to community colleges, educating students about quantum opportunities across diverse educational backgrounds. 🌎 #quantumprairie
