ERC has awarded a Consolidator Grant for SuperQold project, focuses on scaling superconducting qubit readout with millikelvin (mK) detection.

Olalla’s recent work argues that the disappearance of specific heat at absolute zero—long treated as part of the third law of thermodynamics—can instead be derived directly from the second law, ...

David Reilly and his University of Sidney team developed a silicon chip that can control spin qubits at milli-kelvin temperatures. That’s just slightly above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius), ...

Quantum critical points are thresholds that mark the transition of materials between different electronic phases at absolute zero temperatures, around which they often exhibit exotic physical ...

(via SciShow) It's impossible to have something colder than absolute zero...right? That's why it's called "absolute zero". Well, it turns out you can get certain substances to negative absolute ...

How would you go about determining absolute zero? Intuitively, it seems like you’d need some complicated physics setup with lasers and maybe some liquid helium. But as it turns out, all you need is ...

Olalla, from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Seville, has described the direct link between ...

This paper follows another in which Professor Martín-Olalla corrected an original idea by Einstein that gave rise to the third law of thermodynamics ...
