I have no idea what will be in the Quarterly besides the activities they are currently working on. Hopefully a little more information on the role Archer will play in the Australian Governments Missile Defense Program would be good. ( we do know it's to do with 12cq technology)

Generally the Quarterly gives a good rundown on Activities and cash burn and sometimes new information can be found within, so it's always something to look forward to reading every 3 months so looking forward to reading any day now.

From what I've seen alot of trades have been off screen and is generally an indicator they aren't mum and dad investors - Traders will obviously be in but what surprised me the most was the strong buying! Many would have taken profits but the buying was persistent and still marched on to a strong close AND an all time high!

It's possible the big funds are now reading Hot Copper and have picked up on the USA Patent Examiners Intent to grant ..... lol

Seriously though, it seems the market maybe pricing this in and the chances of approval. Don't be surprised if this still takes some time yet - it's a great sign, but still payments and formalities to go before formal approval and announcement. European patent decision may also be close. In any case, it's an exciting start to H2 2021.

Of course you should always keep in the back of your mind the risk appetite and pullbacks on stocks and I have genuinely been blown away with the strong run Archer has had this last few weeks, but when you put it into perspective - we have a Quantum Race happening, large investment Globally and limited stocks you can actually invest your money in the Quantum space and the pace of progress in Quantum .. is it really a surprise to see Archer doing so well ?? .... also Archer has something if/when successful Google/Amazon/Apple/Microsoft would so dearly love to have! not to mention Military also..

Then there is the A1 Bio Chip development which is also progressing well and in itself a disruptive technology and the ..... to be announced new technologies coming soon! So there is a lot happening at Archer that is exciting and has a lot of potential so well worth the risk/reward I strongly believe.

A beautiful screen grab below - reminds me I should charge my battery soon looking at it!
A common occurrence through the last few weeks were the drops in SP and volume compared to the take up .... a good indicator of what's happening

Rambelon mentioned some posts back regrading a Quantum Battery, I have been looking into this and although it seems some way off it appears it may be possible with future advances in Quantum Technology in the years ahead and what an amazing technology it would be. Please Mohammad ... let this be the third Reliable Energy Vertical jks ..

We have some way to go yet, but the company is kicking goals and advancing .. and so far the value in 12cq is being realized with each milestone achieved!

All the best to all and well done to all the long termers here from to sub 20 cent days, I do believe we have a long way to go realizing Shareholder value here yet!

Below is a bit of info on the Quantum Battery - there will likely be different versions but all an exciting possibility - certainly a very Disruptive technology and would be amazing once realized .... almost everything we have today was science fiction at some point - so dare to dream!

The World's First Quantum Phase Battery Is Here

The battery, which represents a big step in quantum computing, consists of an indium arsenide nanowire in contact with aluminum superconducting leads.

You might have been privy to the quantum computing hype. If you haven't, here's how it goes: if they deliver on their potential, quantum computers will be able to tackle problems that would require hundreds if not thousands of years for a classical computer to solve.

And now, in a big step for quantum computing, we have the first functioning quantum phase battery.

RELATED: WHAT WILL QUANTUM COMPUTING CHANGE, EXACTLY?

Quantum versus classical batteries

Batteries are ubiquitous in our everyday lives, with lithium-ion batteries being the most commonly used type — though interesting alternatives are, in fact, in development.

The quantum phase battery is a different beast altogether. While classical batteries convert chemical energy into voltage, which powers electronic circuits, quantum technologies use circuits or devices based on superconducting materials.

In superconducting materials, currents flow without the need for an applied voltage. Therefore, when it comes to quantum computers, there is no need for a classical battery.

Supercurrents get their name from the fact that they do not exhibit any energy losses. They are induced from a phase difference of the wave function of the quantum circuit, rather than from a voltage.

This means that a quantum device able to provide a persistent phase difference can be seen as a quantum phase battery, which induces supercurrents in a quantum circuit.

Building a functioning quantum phase battery

That is exactly what Francesco Giazotto and Elia Strambini from the NEST-CNR Institute, Pisa have built. They built on the work of Sebastian Bergeret and Ilya Tokatly, both Donostia international Physics Center (DIPC) associate researchers, who devised the idea of a quantum phase battery in 2015.

Bergeret and Tokatly's idea consisted in a combination of superconducting, and magnetic materials with an intrinsic relativistic effect, called spin-orbit coupling.

Giazotto and Strambini's contribution was to identify a suitable material combination that allowed them to fabricate the first quantum phase battery. Their results are now published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Their quantum phase battery consists of an n-doped InAs nanowire forming the core of the battery (the pile) and Al superconducting leads as poles. It is charged by applying an external magnetic field, which then can be switched off.

Cristina Sanz-Fernández and Claudio Guarcello, also from CFM, adapted the theory to simulate the experimental findings.

The battery is being further developed and improved at CFM premises in a collaboration between the Nanophysics Lab and the Mesoscopic Physics Group. These advances could contribute to enormous advances that many say will come from the field of quantum computing.

Quantum batteries harness the unique properties of quantum mechanics toenhance energy storage compared to conventional batteries. In particular, theyare predicted to undergo superextensive charging, where batteries with largercapacity actually take less time to charge. Up until now however, they have notbeen experimentally demonstrated, due to the challenges in quantum coherentcontrol. Here we implement an array of two-level systems coupled to a photonicmode to realise a Dicke quantum battery. Our quantum battery is constructedwith a microcavity formed by two dielectric mirrors enclosing a thin film of afluorescent molecular dye in a polymer matrix. We use ultrafast opticalspectroscopy to time resolve the charging dynamics of the quantum battery atfemtosecond resolution. We experimentally demonstrate superextensive increasesin both charging power and storage capacity, in agreement with our theoreticalmodelling. We find that decoherence plays an important role in stabilisingenergy storage, analogous to the role that dissipation plays in photosynthesis.This experimental proof-of-concept is a major milestone towards the practicalapplication of quantum batteries in quantum and conventional devices. Our workopens new opportunities for harnessing collective effects in light-mattercoupling for nanoscale energy capture, storage, and transport technologies,including the enhancement of solar cell efficiencies.
