Measurement-based Quantum Compute Leaves Bottlenecks at the Gate
WAKO, Japan, Dec. 27, 2023 — Much of the progress so far in quantum computing has been done on so-called gate-based quantum computers. These devices use physical components, most notably superconducting circuits, to host and control the qubits. The approach bears similarity to conventional, device-based classical computers. The two computing architectures are thus relatively compatible and could be used together in hybrid. Furthermore, future quantum computers could be fabricated by harnessing existing technologies used
Squeezed Light Source Aims to Hasten Arrival of Large-Scale Quantum Computers
TOKYO, Jan. 13, 2022 — NTT Corp., in collaboration with the University of Tokyo and RIKEN, has developed an optical fiber-coupled quantum light source. Such a light source that can produce squeezed light is considered to be a crucial component to realizing a...
Supercomputer Adds Efficiency to Light-Matter Simulations
TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan. 11, 2022 — Researchers at the University of Tsukuba developed a unified method for simulating light-matter interaction at the atomic scale. The method is considered to be highly efficient by the researchers, as it simultaneously calculates electromagnetic...
Cuprous Iodide Film Shows Promise for Semiconductors, Optoelectronics
SAITAMA, Japan, April 9, 2021 — Physicists from RIKEN have taken a step to enhance semiconductor performance, developing a single-crystal thin film of cuprous iodide. The film is atomically flat and free of any defects. Conventional approaches for fabricating thin films of cuprous...
Extreme UV Source Facility Opens for Use
TOKYO, Oct. 1, 2020 — University of Tokyo researchers have established a high-frequency laser source facility located at the university that enables investigation of time-dependent phenomena such as ultrafast chemical reactions and fast-acting biological processes. The...
ZEISS and RIKEN Establish Partnership
OBERKOCHEN, Germany, Feb. 5, 2020 — ZEISS and RIKEN Innovation have entered into a strategic collaboration agreement to explore opportunities where the combination of Riken’s expertise in bioengineering and image data manipulation and ZEISS’ leadership in optical solutions...
Selective Formation of Excitons Could Lower OLED Energy Requirements
TOKYO, June 10, 2019 — Scientists from RIKEN and the University of California San Diego, in collaboration with international partners, have demonstrated a new way to manipulate the excitons that are essential to the transport of electrons within OLEDs. They showed that...
Light Pulses Transform Mott Insulators
WAKO, Japan, March 7, 2019 — Scientists from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research have used light pulses to transform Mott insulators into materials that can conduct electricity without energy loss. Through numerical simulations, the researchers showed that pulse...
Engineers Perform Computational Logic with Optical and Electrical Signals
TOKYO, Jan. 16, 2019 — In work that could help advance low-power, high-performance computer chips, researchers at the University of Tokyo and RIKEN have employed UV light and electric fields to perform logic operations with a chemical device. The use of electric fields...
Optogenetic Technique Recovers Lost Memories in Alzheimer Mouse Model
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 1, 2016 — An experimental optogenetics technique has been applied to a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to rescue memories. The study revealed that spines — small knobs on brain-cell dendrites through which synaptic connections are formed...
Viral Method Aids Two-Photon Imaging of Primate Brains
WAKO, Japan, Nov. 20, 2015 — Tailored viruses that make brain cells manufacture fluorophores could make two-photon microscopy techniques viable for studying primate brains. Tested first in marmosets, the technique could for the first time allow scientists to neural activity...
Spin Hall Effect Called Fundamental Property of Light
SAITAMA, Japan, June 25, 2015 — The spin of incident light determines the direction of propagation of evanescent waves along a surface, according to researchers at the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science. The finding demonstrates that the quantum spin Hall effect, already...
Optogenetics Swaps Memory Emotions
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 2, 2014 — It may be possible to change negative memories into positive ones, and vice versa, using optogenetics techniques.
Technique Allows Whole-Brain Imaging with Single-Cell Resolution
SAITAMA, Japan, April 17, 2014 — Understanding the relationship between cellular phenomena and activity at the organism level has been difficult, particularly where the brain is concerned. Whole-brain imaging at single-cell resolution could help.
e2v to Supply Image Sensors to Japan’s XFEL
ESSEX, England, Sept. 19, 2012 — The imaging solutions manufacturer will provide Japan’s x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) with sensors that will allow scientists to “see” the atomic structure of proteins and other nanoscale structures.
SACLA Sets Record
Sep 1, 2011 — In Japan, RIKEN, a research institute based in Wako, and Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute in Hyogo have announced the successful production of a beam of x-ray laser light with a wavelength of 1.2 Å, the shortest ever measured....
SACLA Laser Sets Record
WAKO, Japan, June 16, 2011 — The research institute RIKEN and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute announced the successful production of a beam of x-ray laser light with a wavelength of 1.2 ?, the shortest ever measured. The record-breaking light was created...
Color Holograms Generated Using White Light
TOKYO, April 7, 2011 — A new technique uses ordinary white light instead of a laser to make three-dimensional color holograms that can be viewed at any angle, something that could prove useful in the next generation of 3-D displays, Japanese researchers report....
Microlaser Generates Microwatts
Nov 1, 2004 — Researchers at Riken, the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Wako, Japan, have demonstrated an approach to the construction of tiny lasers that is likely to find application in miniature photonic devices such as lab-on-a-chip chemical...
