Northwestern researchers show how impurities can increase the maximum accelerating field of superconducting radio-frequency cavities, a finding with huge potential cost advantages. It turns out that imperfection may be the perfect way to push the limits of a key component…
CAPST co-director Dr. James Sauls sums up several noteworthy developments in the world of quantum computing from the week of October 21st, 2019, about the report of Quantum Supremacy and the responses to it. Redirecting to the full article…
Quantum mechanics is typically associated with microscopic particles, such as atoms, electrons, or photons. However, within the past 20 years the field’s undergone a revolution in how people think about it. As first proposed by Nobel-Prize winning physicist Anthony Leggett,…
CAPST Co-Director Dr. James A. Sauls was appointed to the International Scientfic Advisory Board of the European MicroKelvin Platform, a consortium of 17 research laboratories and technology partners with expertise and facilities in ultra-low temperature physics. The EMP is funded…
Fermilab and Northwestern Partner for Applied Superconductivity Center: The Cryogenic Society of America picked up the news about the formation of CAPST. Redirecting to that article…
