The development of quantum computers is currently facing a crucial technological challenge: how to scale existing systems from a few hundred quantum bits (qubits) to millions on a single chip. Spins of elementary charges confined in quantum dots are considered a promising candidate for scaling qubits, mainly due to their compact size but also for…
Scientists from the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (IEE SAS) have introduced a new electro-thermal modeling method for superconductors, offering higher accuracy and efficiency compared to previously used approaches. This method, called METEP (Minimum Electro-Thermal Entropy Production), brings significant advantages over traditional methods. Unlike the traditional finite difference method, METEP…
How stable are gallium oxide layers at high temperatures? Scientists from the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Slovak Academy of Sciences set out to answer this question. Their research provides crucial insights into a promising semiconductor material – gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) – which has attracted significant interest from both scientific and industrial communities due…
On February 18, 2025, we officially opened the Scientific Café at the Institute of Electrical Engineering SAS, v.v.i. This newly created social space, which also serves as a kitchenette, is designed to enhance the daily work environment and foster informal communication among colleagues. Why a Scientific Café? Great ideas often arise not only in laboratories…
