Superconducting quantum circuits are currently one of the most promising platforms for realizing a large-scale quantum computer capable of solving complex tasks that are unsolvable by classical computers. The operation of a superconducting quantum computer relies on microwave control of superconducting qubits, the basic unit of information, via multiple cables […]
The missing mass problem arose in the 20th century when observations of the dynamics of astrophysical objects could not be explained by ordinary luminous matter. This suggested the existence of some non-luminous excess mass, plentiful in the observable universe. Inspired by the non-luminous nature of this strange new substance, the […]
I first joined the Board of the Finnish Physical Society at the Annual General Meeting in March of 2020 in Helsinki as the Secretary. Two years later I was fortunate to be elected as the Vice President to President Matti Silveri during the online Physics Days from Aalto. Then in […]
The Finnish Physical Society is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Korean Physical Society. Until now, our international relationships have primarily been inside Europe, facilitated via the European Physical Society. Now, for the first time, a partnership has been established beyond Europe.
