Quantum research in action

The Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (Utbildningsradion – UR) showcasing quantum research. Giovanna Tancredi and Göran Johansson explain the cutting-edge techniques used to develop quantum devices, offering a rare glimpse into the heart of Sweden’s quantum innovation.

The Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) is a national initiative led by Chalmers, aiming to establish Sweden as a world leader in quantum technology. The centre focuses on developing a high-performance quantum computer and advancing quantum sensing, communication, and materials.

A significant part of the research takes place in Chalmers’ cleanroom facilities, where scientists fabricate and test quantum components under ultra-controlled conditions essential for quantum coherence and precision.

The conceptual image shows how the researchers’ sculpted pattern of tiny hills and valleys – smaller than one millionth of a hair’s thickness – on the substrate (MgO, at the bottom) guides how the atoms in the superconducting material (YBCO, on top) settle. At the interface between the two layers, an electronic landscape allows superconductivity to occur at higher temperatures than previously possible – even when high magnetic fields were are applied.
