Russia and Singapore to Join Forces on Joint Quantum Research
Scientists from Russia’s National Research Nuclear University MEPhI and leading Singaporean laboratories are exploring new avenues of collaboration in quantum optics and diamond‑based electronics—laying the groundwork for cross‑border innovation with economic impact for both countries.
Advancing Diamond‑Based Quantum Technologies
During a recent visit to the laboratory of Nobel Prize laureate Konstantin Novoselov in Singapore, Professor Nikolai Kargin, director of MEPhI’s new Center for Electronic and Quantum Technologies Based on Synthetic Diamond, discussed potential joint research directions with Singaporean colleagues.
The parties identified opportunities for collaboration in quantum optics, diamond electronics, and technologies built on synthetic diamond materials. Such projects could unlock new scientific and industrial synergies for both nations.
A Material for Next‑Generation Devices
The world‑class research center dedicated to diamond‑based electronic and quantum technologies was established at MEPhI earlier this year. According to the university, synthetic diamond offers unique properties that can transform the fields of electronics and optoelectronics.
Researchers at the center are developing power‑electronics and microwave‑electronic components, studying the quantum optics of diamond, and training future specialists in quantum technologies.
Synthetic diamonds are considered an innovative material for next‑generation devices in medicine, space exploration, and advanced sensor systems.
