A multi-institution team including FSU Quantum faculty, Wei Guo and Xianjing Zhou, demonstrated that a novel qubit made by trapping single electrons on solid neon exhibits noise levels 10 to 10,000 times lower than typical semiconducting qubits, while maintaining coherence above 1 microsecond at low temperatures.
FSU hosts inaugural Florida Quantum Conference
Leading researchers from academia and industry gathered at Florida State University for the Florida Quantum Conference, a three-day event that explored the latest breakthroughs in quantum science and engineering. This conference was the inaugural edition of what is planned as an annual event held at institutions around the state.
“This conference is a milestone for FSU,” said President Richard McCullough. “Just a few years ago, we began convening a relatively small group of faculty and partners for what we called the Dirac Quantum Discussions. Those early conversations created momentum, sparked new collaborations and made it clear there was real energy around quantum.”

"While the foundation of what is now known as quantum science and engineering was laid decades ago, we still don’t have the insights or tools necessary to control and harness these phenomena on an atomic/molecular level. Likewise, while our understanding of quantum events continues to grow, the community will inevitably discover new processes, materials, and applications. The FSU Quantum initiative, combined with the research and tools already active at FSU, makes us uniquely positioned to contribute to this foundational understanding and open the door to harnessing quantum information in current and yet to be dreamed of applications."
FSU Quantum initiative has been established to advance university’s research and education in the areas of modern quantum science and technologies.
