• Quantum Liquid “Cooling” Without “Evaporation” Described at ITMO

  Researchers from ITMO University have suggested a precise model that describes the “cooling” or the loss of “extra” energy in polariton condensate, a special kind of quantum liquid. For this purpose, the physicists rewrote the main equation, adding a new summand that describes energy redistribution within a system without particle loss. The new approach will make it possible to model the behavior of quantum environments more precisely, which may be beneficial in the development of elements for optical computing systems, energy-efficient photonic chips, and other next-gen quantum optical devices. The study was described in a paper published in Physical Review B.

• A Better Way: ITMO Presents AI-Based Service for Public Transit Route Optimization

  ConnectPT, developed by a team from ITMO’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence, can analyze existing public transportation routes and provide recommendations on how to improve them. With the service, urban planners and transportation engineers will be able to spend less time on developing the transportation system, while also lowering the risk of errors. Compared to similar products, the new open-source system can work with a minimal amount of data about urban development and transportation infrastructure, as well as being more flexible to client demands.

• Present and Future of Wireless Tech Discussed at ITMO

  When will Russia get full 5G coverage? Will AI replace radio engineers? What’s the future of satellite communications? For five days, 120 engineers, developers, and researchers from 11 Russian regions came together at the ITMO Wireless conference-school to answer these questions. They discussed recent advances made by leading research teams, novel practical approaches, and trends in ultrahigh-frequency electronics, antenna tech, and communications and positioning systems.

• ITMO Scientists Create Perovskite Memristor To Withstand 1,500+ Rewrite Cycles

  Researchers from ITMO and Harbin Engineering University have developed a stable perovskite nanomemristor that can withstand over 1,500 rewrite cycles and doesn’t degrade for months. At the same time, the device broke records in terms of its compact size (130-160 nanometers) and energy consumption (70-80 nanowatt). With this memristor, it’s possible to create fast and energy-efficient ultracompact processors for neuromorphic computing. This study, supported by Russian Science Foundation and Priority 2030, was published in Opto-Electronic Advances.
