Discovery of fully-gapped topological superconductors with potential applications in quantum computing

www.okayama-u.ac.jp/user/kouhou/ebulletin/research_highlights/vol27/highlights_002.html

A research group at Okayama University led by Guo-qing Zheng, working in collaboration with researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered that copper-intercalated Bi2Se3 (CuxBi2Se3)—that does not usually conduct electricity before doping— is a class of topological superconductors, where the energy gap is fully opened when the copper concentration x exceeds 0.46. This finding paves the way for applications to fault-tolerant quantum computers using bulk topological superconductors.

Mechanism of photosynthetic water oxidation revealed by intermediate state structures analyzed by an X-ray free electron laser

http://www.okayama-u.ac.jp/user/kouhou/ebulletin/research_highlights/vol27/highlights_003.html

Michihiro Suga, Fusamichi Akita, Jian-Ren Shen at Okayama University, and colleagues from RIKEN have obtained the structure of the S3-state at a higher resolution and also analyzed the structure of the S2-state by a combination of pump-probe and fixed-target serial crystallography methods using femtosecond X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL) at SACLA, Japan. In this approach, the S2 and S3-intermediate states were generated by one or two laser pulses at room temperature, and the excited PSII microcrystals were frozen in liquid nitrogen and used for X-ray data collection.
