Terbium duet and other quantum art To create more stable qubits, PSI researchers make terbium ions perform in pairs. Elsewhere, they are using optical tweezers to position atoms with high precision.

Qubits are sensitive. 🫠 PSI researchers are developing ways to make them more stable and longer-lasting - working with ion pairs and optical tweezers.

Quantum Supremacy and the Race for New World Power - Stratheia Quantum computing is reshaping security and sovereignty; global cooperation is vital to prevent a deepening “quantum divide.”

Pakistan’s new National Center for Quantum Computing shows even emerging economies see the “quantum gap” as a strategic risk.

Did you know your sunscreen is powered by quantum mechanics? 💡

Sunscreen works by letting the smaller energy visible photons (light quanta) through to your skin, but not the larger UV photons.

This is how science helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays! 🌟 quantum2025.org #IYQ2025 #QuantumYear
