Guiding spin waves with light could lead to faster and much more energy efficient computing
Major new research project at Aalto University aims to develop new type of computing device that eliminates massive amounts of waste heat produced by current devices
Researchers will use the world鈥檚 most accurate radiation detector in quantum computers
Professor Mikko M枚tt枚nen鈥檚 team and their partners have acquired funding to refine the bolometer technology for use not only in quantum computers but also in ultralow-temperature (ULT) freezers and terahertz cameras. The funding is from the Future Makers Funding Program by Technology Industries Finland Centennial Foundation and by Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation. This would be the first time ever that this bolometer is utilized for practical applications.
Groundbreaking light sources can increase effectiveness and security of transferring quantum information
Researchers at Aalto University plan to build a revolutionary LED light source to generate entangled photon pairs. The research group led by Professor Pertti Hakonen has received three-year funding from the Future Makers Funding Program of Technologies Finland Centennial Foundation and Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation.

Controlling nanolasers with magnets lays the groundwork for more robust optical signalling
Tuning a magnetic fluid with an electric field creates controllable dissipative patterns
An electric field transforms an iron oxide nanoparticle suspension into a model for the emergence of complex dissipative structures
Moments of silence point the way towards better superconductors
Together with researchers from Lund University and VTT, the team at Aalto set up an experiment to detect smalls number of quasiparticles in real-time.
Towards the next generation of social innovations 鈥 Northern Dimension Future Forum 2021
The annual Northern Dimension Future Forum took place at Aalto University, Finland, and online on December 1, 2021. In the Future Forum, experts and stakeholders discussed the sustainability of social innovations and policy measures induced by the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of Northern Dimension thematic partnerships. From the Aalto University, Professor Riitta Kosonen, Director of CEMAT and Lead coordinator of the Northern Dimension Institute, Professor Otto Toivanen, Aalto School of Economics, and Milja Leinonen, Chair of the Board, Aalto University Student Union, participated in the event.
Aalto researchers awarded Physics World Breakthrough of the Year for macroscopic quantum entanglement
Aalto University Professor Mika A. Sillanp盲盲, his team and collaborators at the University of New South Wales in Canberra, Australia, have won the Physics World 2021 Breakthrough of the Year. The prize was awarded for establishing quantum entanglement between a pair of macroscopic drumheads 鈥 two mechanical resonators that were tiny but still much larger than the subatomic particles that are usually entangled. The award has previously been given for the first direct observation of a black hole and for the detection of gravitational waves, which also received a Nobel Prize.
The range of climate courses broadens: Aalto and 17 other universities cooperate as Climate University
The Climate University network coordinated by the University of Helsinki has formed a teaching cooperation contract between 18 universities. With these new contracts, a majority of Finnish university students can take the network鈥檚 climate and sustainability themed courses.
A new super-cooled microwave source boosts the scale-up of quantum computers
Researchers in Finland have developed a circuit that produces the high-quality microwave signals required to control quantum computers while operating at temperatures near absolute zero. This is a key step towards moving the control system closer to the quantum processor, which may make it possible to greatly increase the number of qubits in the processor.
