Grover's quantum algorithm was first demonstrated in Russia on superconducting qubits
17 september 2019

A successful experiment was conducted on an elementary quantum superconducting processor produced at FMN Laboratory. The accuracy of single-qubit operations exceeded 99%, those of two-qubit operations exceeded 80%, which made it possible to demonstrate the Grover’s quantum algorithm for solving the enumeration problem on a two-qubit scheme. Grover's algorithm can become the basis for creating ultrafast databases that work with huge data arrays and are able to find the necessary information in a few moments.

Embrace the Future: FMB Laboratory team synthesized materials with a record length of surface plasmon-polariton wave
22 august 2019

In the article, we demonstrate the optical medium for surface plasmon-polariton wave (SPP) propagation with ultra low losses corresponding to the theoretically limited values. The unique element of the optical medium is an atomically-flat single-crystalline silver thin film that provides extremely low losses. The SPP excited on the surface of such thin films (λ = 780 nm) is characterized by a SPP propagation length equal to 200 µm, which is twice longer than previously reported experimental results and corresponds to theoretically limited values for silver films.
