Latest Quantum Electronics Stories

TEMPE, Ariz., July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hague Corp.'s (OTC Bulletin Board: HGUE), wholly owned subsidiary Solterra Renewable Technologies today announced that it is initiating the next phase in its plan to make high volume synthesis of tetrapod quantum dots a reality. Up until now, tetrapod quantum dots, as well as other forms of quantum dots, have only been produced in very small, milligram quantities per day, using expensive materials and processing techniques that are laborious...

Physicists have found a way to drastically prolong the shelf life of quantum bits, the 0s and 1s of quantum computers.These precarious bits, formed in this case by arrays of semiconductor quantum dots containing a single extra electron, are easily perturbed by magnetic field fluctuations from the nuclei of the atoms creating the quantum dot. This perturbation causes the bits to essentially forget the piece of information they were tasked with storing.A quantum dot is a semiconductor...

Researchers at the University of Chicago and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed an "electronic glue" that could accelerate advances in semiconductor-based technologies, including solar cells and thermoelectric devices that convert sun light and waste heat, respectively, into useful electrical energy. Semiconductors have served as choice materials for many electronic and optical devices because of their physical properties. Commercial solar cells, computer...

TEMPE, Ariz., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hague Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: HGUE), a quantum dot manufacturing company with a focus on Quantum dots targeted towards the medical sciences, ultra efficient lighting solutions and the burgeoning solar cell industry, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with its Noteholders for a 120-day standstill period pursuant to which the Noteholders will not pursue any of their rights under their debt securities and related transaction...

Substantial advances for applications of nanocrystals in the fields requiring a continuous output of photons and high quantum efficiency may soon be realized due to discovery of non-blinking semiconductor nanocrystals. This discovery recently announced by scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), University of Rochester, Cornell University and Eastman Kodak Company is an important step to the use of the nanocrystals in various practical devices ranging from low-threshold lasers to...

Physics breakthrough could lead to forward leaps in lasers, telecom and optical computingMcGill University researchers have successfully amplified light with so-called "colloidal quantum dots," a technology that had been written off by many as a dead-end.Over the last 15 years, repeated quantum dot research efforts failed to deliver on expected improvements in amplification, and many researchers started to believe that an unknown but insurmountable law of physics was blocking their...

Discovery paves way for a new type of quantum computingAn international team of scientists led by a Princeton University group recently discovered that on the surface of certain materials collective arrangements of electrons move in ways that mimic the presence of a magnetic field where none is present. The finding represents one of the most exotic macroscopic quantum phenomena in condensed-matter physics: a topological Quantum Spin Hall effect.The research could lead to advances in building...

Quantum dots have the potential to bring many good things into the world: efficient solar power, targeted gene and drug delivery, solid-state lighting and advances in biomedical imaging among them. But they may pose hazards as well.A team of Rice researchers has been working to discover the health risks of quantum dots, molecule-sized semiconducting nanocrystals that are generally composed of heavy metals surrounded by an organic shell.Pedro Alvarez, Rice's George R. Brown Professor and chair...

The promise of quantum computing is that it will dramatically outshine traditional computers in tackling certain key problems: searching large databases, factoring large numbers, creating uncrackable codes and simulating the atomic structure of materials.A quantum step in that direction, if you'll pardon the pun, has been taken by Stanford researchers who announced their success in a paper published in the journal Nature. Working in the Ginzton Laboratory, they've employed ultrafast lasers...

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hague Corp ("Hague") (OTCBB: HGUE), a publicly traded resource exploration company, is pleased to announce that on September 24, 2008 Hague signed a binding letter of intent to purchase all of the assets of Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. ("Solterra"). The agreement between Hague and Solterra requires Hague to fund Solterra a total of five million US dollars within sixty days of signing a final Asset Purchase Agreement.
