Alain Aspect, Nobel-winning father of quantum entanglement
Alain Aspect, who won a long-expected Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday, not only helped prove the strange theory of quantum entanglement but also inspired a generation of physicists in his native France, according to former students and colleagues......»»
Test of a prototype quantum internet runs under New York City for half a month
To introduce quantum networks into the marketplace, engineers must overcome the fragility of entangled states in a fiber cable and ensure the efficiency of signal delivery. Now, scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have taken a large ste.....»»
Researcher explores how you can stretch your mind to grasp quantum entanglement
My new article, "Quantum Entanglement of Optical Photons: The First Experiment, 1964–67," is intended to convey the spirit of a small research project that reaches into uncharted territory. The article breaks with tradition, as it offers a first-pe.....»»
Langbeinites show talents as 3D quantum spin liquids
A 3D quantum spin liquid has been discovered in the vicinity of a member of the langbeinite family. The material's specific crystalline structure and the resulting magnetic interactions induce an unusual behavior that can be traced back to an island.....»»
New varactor enhances quantum dot device measurements at millikelvin temperatures
The development of quantum computing systems relies on the ability to rapidly and precisely measure these systems' electrical properties, such as their underlying charge and spin states. These measurements are typically collected using radio-frequenc.....»»
Unconventional interface superconductor could benefit quantum computing
A multi-institutional team of scientists in the United States, led by physicist Peng Wei at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate "t.....»»
Professor proposes how a black hole in orbit around a planet could be a sign of an advanced civilization
In 1971, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed how energy could be extracted from a rotating black hole. He argued that this could be done by building a harness around the black hole's accretion disk, where infa.....»»
Could we ever harness quantum vacuum energy?
The fabric of spacetime is roiling with vibrating quantum fields, known as vacuum energy. It's right there, everywhere we look. But could we ever get anything out of it?.....»»
AI tackles one of the most difficult challenges in quantum chemistry
New research using neural networks, a form of brain-inspired AI, proposes a solution to the tough challenge of modeling the states of molecules......»»
Study uncovers condensed-matter dark states in a quantum system with two pairs of sublattices
Dark states are quantum states in which a system does not interact with external fields, such as light (i.e., photons) or electromagnetic fields. These states, which generally occur due to interferences between the pathways through which a system int.....»»
A maximally entangled quantum state with a fixed spectrum does not exist in the presence of noise, mathematician claims
For more than 20 years, quantum researchers have wondered whether a quantum system can have maximum entanglement in the presence of noise. A mathematician from Spain recently answered the question: No......»»
Researchers observe Floquet states in colloidal nanoplatelets driven by visible pulses
Solution-processed semiconductor nanocrystals are also called colloidal quantum dots (QDs). While the concept of size-dependent quantum effects had long been known to physicists, a sculpture of the theory into real nanodimensional objects remained im.....»»

LumaTouch has just released version 5.0 of its award-winning mobile editing platform, LumaFusion. As an iPad enthusiast and Lumafusion user for over 5 five years, I could not be more excited about this update. It introduces powerful new tools that ca.....»»
What does family look like in Australia? It"s more diverse than you think
When we think of the concept of the family, a specific version often springs to mind: a mother, a father and children, usually two or three. It's the version of society our policies and systems are built around......»»
The closest thing to C-3PO can be yours – if you have $16,000
Unitree G1 is a quantum leap ahead of the company's H1 robot but it will cost you dearly......»»
Ultrathin quantum light sources: Scientists show excitonic interactions boost efficiency of entangled photon generation
Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have shown that excitonic resonances and transitions between excitons can significantly increase the efficiency of generating entangled photon pairs. This could lead to the development of eff.....»»
The Vacuum of Space Will Decay Sooner Than Expected
One of the quantum fields that fills the universe is special because its default value seems poised to eventually change—changing everything......»»
