Nordita Partners with Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) to Advance Quantum Physics
Nordita has partnered with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) to develop materials for next-gen quantum technologies. Launched in September 2024, the collaboration focuses on improving qubits by addressing decoherence from two-level systems (TLS). Nordita's Theoretical Quantum Matter Group is modeling atomic-scale sources of TLS in Josephson junctions.
