PhD position in Experimental Physics of 2D materials at Lund University Application deadline: Friday, October 9, 2026Employer web page: https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:953827/Job type: PhDTags: #experiment#2dMaterials#Anyons#TopologicalThe Quantum Topoelectronics research group at Lund University is seeking a PhD student to develop graphene-based quantum devices for the investigation and control of anyonic excitations. The project aims to fabricate arrays of quantum Hall devices, characterize their anyonic excitations, and explore their operation as qubits. It combines fundamental quantum physics with the development of new nanoelectronic and quantum technologies. Research activities • Fabrication of ultrahigh-quality van der Waals heterostructures. • Nanofabrication of graphene-based quantum devices in Lund Nano Lab. • Low-temperature electronic-transport measurements. • High-frequency characterization. The research will use a dilution refrigerator operating below 10 mK and equipped with a 14 T magnet, DC measurement lines, and microwave-frequency instrumentation. Applicants should have a background in physics, engineering physics, nanoscience, or a related discipline and a strong interest in quantum devices and experimental physics. Experience in nanofabrication, electrical measurements, cryogenics, microwave techniques, or van der Waals assembly is advantageous.

Here's How Quantum Computing's EQC Approach Supports Growth - Yahoo Finance

Here's How Quantum Computing's EQC Approach Supports Growth Sridatri Sarkar Fri, September 18, 2026 at 9:18 AM EDT 3 min read QUBT -0.53% RGTI -1.38% IONQ -2.51% Quantum Computing Inc. QUBT or QCi is advancing its quantum computing strategy through Entropy Quantum Computing ("EQC"). Traditional quantum systems rely on costly error correction and highly controlled environments, while EQC uses quantum entropy and decoherence as resources for computation. This approach could reduce the need for cryogenic cooling and isolation while enabling integrated photonic systems designed for greater scalability and operational flexibility. Leveraging the EQC approach, QCi's Dirac-3 platform is a third-generation, rack-mountable system designed to solve complex, real-world optimization problems at room temperature. The platform reflects QCi's focus on applying EQC to practical computing applications without relying on the highly controlled environments typically associated with conventional quantum systems. Further supporting the development and adoption of its quantum technology, QCi signed a three-year Framework Agreement with Hamad Bin Khalifa University ("HBKU") in Qatar. Under the agreement, QCi will provide HBKU with cloud-based access to the Dirac-3 system, along with an installation in Qatar to support the country's quantum ecosystem and regional leadership. Quantum Technologies Used by QUBT's Peers IonQ's IONQ commercialization thesis remains tied to technical milestones that can move IonQ from prototype systems toward repeatable semiconductor-based deployments. By the second quarter of 2026, IonQ had progressed through three rounds of tape-outs for its first semiconductor quantum chip and received 256-qubit prototypes, which met the critical quality metrics required for production-grade systems. IONQ also reported key elements of its walking-cat architecture and quantum error-correction work on a Tempo engineering system.

EPB Commissions IonQ Forte Enterprise Quantum Computer in Chattanooga Hub - Quantum Computing Report

EPB Commissions IonQ Forte Enterprise Quantum Computer in Chattanooga Hub Municipal utility provider EPB has officially launched the IonQ Forte Enterprise trapped-ion quantum computer at the downtown EPB Quantum Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The deployment establishes the facility as the first commercial hub in the United States to integrate trapped-ion quantum processing units (#AQ 36) alongside photonics-based quantum networking infrastructure under a single operational roof. Initial computational access is prioritized for the EPB Quantum Computing Fellows—an eight-member graduate research team supported by a $4 million National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) grant—to run algorithms designed to optimize circuit topologies, reduce power losses, and enhance resilience across EPB’s automated smart grid. Commercial service access, branded as EPB Quantum Computing℠, opens in early October 2026, with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and Vanderbilt University serving as anchor academic clients.
