Part of the lanthanide series, erbium (Er) is a rare-earth element found in a wide range of minerals like blomstrandine, polycrase, fergusonite, euxenite, xenotime, and gadolinite. C.G. Mosander ...

A single molecule, one hundred thousand times smaller than a human hair, may hold the key to unlocking the . Researchers have engineered an erbium-based molecular qubit operating at standard ...

Discovery: In 1842, Swedish chemist Carl Gustaf Mosander separated the "yttria" component found in the mineral gadolinite into three segments that he called yttria, erbia and terbia. As might be ...

A new, highly dangerous malware called “Erbium” has been making the rounds over the last couple of months, and it’s highly likely that it will spread to new channels. Erbium is an information-stealing ...

Rose Ahlefeldt receives funding from the Australian Research Council. If you were to try reciting the periodic table, you might stumble before you got to the rare earth elements. Comprising yttrium ...

Erbium molecular qubits provide precise optical and spin transitions for quantum control These qubits enable spin states to be accessed through telecom-compatible light High-resolution spin-photon ...

The quantum computer has the potential to revolutionize the 21st century, solving problems so massively complex they would baffle today’s computers. But a single quantum computer is still no match for ...
