BigQ takes a step forward in quantum science
A team of researchers from DTU – some from the Center of Excellence Center for Macroscopic Quantum States (bigQ) at DTU – has taken a step forward toward developing quantum computers. The research team demonstrated that they could encrypt data with quantum technology and transfer them between two servers outside of a lab. The demonstration was a collaboration between Danske Bank and the accounting company KPMG at Danske Bank’s offices in Høje Taastrup.

UrbNet unravels questions about ancient recycling and reuse
A new study from the Center of Excellence UrbNet at Aarhus University has unraveled questions about ancient recycling and reuse in urban contexts. The study was based on the discovery of glass fragments found during excavations in Gerasa (Jerash, Jordan). . Professor and head of center Rubina Raja, along with her UrbNet co-workers, has analyzed the glass, and their analysis has given researchers new insights into the supply sources and recycling intensity in the ancient city.

CEBI finds correlation between personality traits and crime
A new study from the Center of Excellence CEBI at the University of Copenhagen has examined how certain personality traits make people more inclined to commit crime. “There has been a big interest in finding out which parameters make people commit crime. We have found a big correlation between certain personality traits and the inclination toward committing crime,” said head of center Professor Claus Thustrup Kreiner, who is part of the new study that was recently published in the scientific journal PNAS.

HADAL examines the accumulation of black carbon in the hadal zone
A new study from the Center of Excellence Center for Hadal Research (HADAL) at the University of Southern Denmark has examined the accumulation of black carbon in the hadal zone. While researchers are familiar with the black carbon in the marine environment, it is still unclear whether it accumulates in the hadal zone. The new study has been published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

CCQ investigates what happens when an ion is immersed in a Fermi sea
A new study from the Center of Excellence CCQ at Aarhus University has examined what happens when an ion is immersed in a Fermi sea, which is considered a quantum environment. The study is an international collaboration between Ph.D. student Esben Rohan Christensen from CCQ, post-doc Arturo Camacho-Guardian from the United Kingdom, and Professor Georg M. Bruun from China. The study has been published in the scientific journal PRA.
