Quantum technology requires new materials.


"Artist impression of new nanostrings that can vibrate for a very long time. These nanostrings vibrate more than 100,000 times per second. Because it’s difficult for energy to leak out, it also means environmental noise is hard to get in, making these some of the best sensors for room temperature environments.

One particular material group that interests researchers is "zero-dimensional material".  That term means materials with one atom layer. Or maybe someday researchers can make subatomic particle layers that are like graphene, but they form protons or neutrons. 

Researchers are interested in those lattice atom layers because 2D systems are easier to control than complex 3D structures. The 2D system involves fewer variables. AI can easily predict changes in 2D systems than in 3D complex structures.  

The zero-dimensional ferroelectric vortex: a quantum whirl that can act as a quantum spot in structure. Quantum dots can act as support points for quantum entanglement. That made between those points. This makes 2D materials more effective in quantum technology, than 3D structures. It's possible that in the 3D structure some atom moves, and that destroys the quantum dot. 


But they can make things like solar cells more effective. Quantum dots' purpose in solar cells is to put energy to move in the system. They create tension in the particles, and that makes it easier to put electricity move on the layer. 

2D materials are easy to control using lasers. The nano- or quantum fibers can act as ultimate sensors. The quantum fiber is the atom chain, that senses changes in the physical environment. 

The sensor itself is in the nanotube or hollow fiber. The laser ray sees how the sensor oscillates in the tube. The laser can adjust the sensor to the energy level so that it almost sends photons. When some outcoming effect hits that over-adjusted material, it sends extra energy to sensors. 

The quantum dots are like energy hills. The 2D ferroelectric vortex can pump energy into the atom tower in that vortex. This thing makes the new high-accurate quantum radar sensors possible. 

The quantum dots are like antennae. And they can see details, that regular radars cannot see. The vortex can transport energy into that atom tower. And it can create a small-size maser system. Those systems make it possible to break stealth technology.

Superhydrophobic materials can be more fundamental than we think.

"Research on metal-organic frameworks has led to the development of superhydrophobic surfaces by grafting hydrocarbon chains, which cre...
