    US Patent Pending
    • Noble Gas Solid-State Single Electron Qubit Platform

    Qubits are the basic units of quantum computers, analogous to transistors in classical computing platforms. There are a limited number of demonstrated qubit platforms, and each has challenges with coherence (ability to maintain quantum entanglement), speed, fidelity, and/or scalability (ability to fabricate and couple multiple units). However, this invention is a new type of qubit platform that could resolve the coherence challenge, which will potentially open up new unprecedented opportunities for quantum computing.

  • Argonne researchers have invented functional bilayer thin film coatings based on the atomic layer deposition methods to enhance the particle detection efficiency and performance of the projection chambers.
    US Patent 11414756B2
    • Particle detection structure in time projection chambers and photodetectors (ANL-IN-18-114)

    Time projection chambers are useful for high energy particle physics, nuclear physics, and astronomy. Argonne’s novel functional bilayer thin film coatings enhance particle detection efficiency and projection chamber performance.

  • Argonne researchers have invented a novel method of depositing fluoride thin films.
    Intellectual Property Available to License
    US Patent 11111578B1
    • Atomic layer deposition of fluoride thin films (ANL-IN-19-039)

    Alkaline earth metal fluorides have various optical applications due to their fascinating property of exhibiting high transparency, ranging from wavelengths in vacuum ultraviolet to the long infrared spectrum. Argonne’s novel method for depositing fluoride thin films uses very low temperatures and results in epitaxial growth.
