IAS Center for Quantum Technology - HKUST

Our CQT faculty, Adrian Po, discovered an unusual topological aspect of sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, which will not only facilitate the understanding of the mechanism behind salt’s dissolution and formation, but may also pave the way for the future design of nanoscale conducting quantum wires.

HKUST Co-led Study Reveals Topology at the Corner of the Dining Table | The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology A joint research team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the University of Tokyo discovered an unusual topological aspect of sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt, which will not only facilitate the understanding of the mechanism behind salt’s dissolution a...

CQT researchers (Gyuboong Jo & Jensen Li's groups) simulated a dissipative tunable quantum system with ultracold atoms. By introducing loss into the spin-orbit coupled fermions, they were able to gain topological control of quantum state. This work, published in , opens the door to the quantum simulation of dissipative quantum matter.

Chiral control of quantum states in non-Hermitian spin–orbit-coupled fermions - Nature Physics Spin–orbit coupling is an important feature of isolated quantum systems, but less is known about how it responds to dissipation. An experiment in a cold atomic gas now shows how these two effects enable topologically robust spin transfer.

Meet our Quantum Computer: Exhibition and Hands-on Experience (4-8 Jul, 2021)

Over 200 heads witnessed how qubits could be manipulated and observed quantum computation in real time at an event “Meet the Quantum Computer: Exhibition and Hands-on Experience” during July 5 – 8, 2021. The system uses nuclear spins of phosphorous and hydrogen atoms in a dimethylphosphite molecule to define a two-qubit quantum register. These nuclear spins can then be initialized, addressed, and subsequently read-out using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. This offered excitement to not only students, but also faculty, staff and even commercial and industry players who encountered this amazing innovation.
