HRL Laboratories and Boeing Achieve Key Milestone in Quantum Entanglement Swapping Satellite Mission
MALIBU, Calif. April 16, 2025 — HRL Laboratories and Boeing have completed construction and technical validation on a quantum communication subassembly for Boeing’s Q4S satellite mission – a first-of-its-kind effort to demonstrate four-photon quantum entanglement swapping in space. This powerful capability is essential to enabling future secure communications and distributed quantum networks. With this …
A Step Toward Revolutionary Computing by Improving Topological Material
HRL Laboratories, LLC, hopes to advance the vast potential of two-dimensional topological materials for quantum computation. With an award from DARPA, this project—Suppressing Trivial Edge Conductance in 2D Topological Materials—will take a step closer to development of topological qubits that keep fragile quantum information safe from environmental effects.
HRL Laboratories team publishes Quantum Computing Materials paper in MRS Bulletin
An HRL Laboratories, LLC, research team has published a paper in the March issue of MRS Bulletin, a journal of the Materials Research Society, that sits squarely at the intersection of materials science and quantum computing. The paper, “Metamorphic Materials for Quantum Computing,” explores the demands that silicon-germanium (SiGe) quantum dot heterostructures impose on the underlying substrate, the ways in which the metamorphic substrate’s properties impact device performance, and how performance limitations may be overcome.
