Novel quantum device design promises a regular flow of entangled electrons on demand

Quantum computer and many other quantum technologies rely on our ability to generate quantum entangled pairs of electrons. By dynamically controlling two quantum dots near a superconductor, researchers could time the extraction and splitting of entangled Cooper pairs from a superconductor.

European energy transition needs to accelerate urgently

Energy transition means transforming the entire European energy system — a change which will affect every part of the society and require huge investment during the transition. It must be done in a socially equitable way. And the progress needs to be accelerated to be able to achieve the EU’s target of net zero emissions by 2050.
