A team of computer engineers from quantum computer maker Quantinuum, working with computer scientists from Microsoft, has found a way to greatly reduce errors when running experiments on a quantum computer. The combined group has published a paper describing their work and results on the arXiv preprint server.
We think our faces are our own. But technology can use them to identify, influence and mimic us. This week, TED speakers explore the promise and peril of turning the human face into a digital tool.
Physicists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) have made a discovery that could boost the understanding of the role of entanglement in high-temperature copper oxide superconductors. The low-energy quasiparticles of these enigmatic quantum materials, so-called Zhang-Rice singlets, were found to be remarkably resilient against extreme disorder.
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new design concept for creating next-generation carbon-based quantum materials, in the form of a tiny magnetic nanographene with a unique butterfly-shape hosting highly correlated spins. This new design has the potential to accelerate the advancement of quantum materials which are pivotal for the development of sophisticated quantum computing technologies poised to revolutionize information processing and high density...
AirChat, a social media app that was launched Friday (April 12), became the 23rd most popular in the U.S. on Apple’s App Store Monday (April 15). The app has seen thousands of downloads as well as online requests for access to it, because AirChat is currently offered on an invite-only basis, Reuters reported Monday. AirChat is centered […]
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute have developed a new way to create quantum memory: A small drum can store data sent with light in its sonic vibrations, and then forward the data with new light sources when needed again. The results demonstrate that mechanical memory for quantum data could be the strategy that paves the way for an ultra-secure internet with incredible speeds.
The Premier League will use AI-based player tracking technology to make offside calls from next season in a move that should reduce the time it takes officials to reach their decisions. England’s top-division clubs announced Thursday they reached a unanimous decision on the introduction of semi-automated offside technology, saying the
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb claims in a new documentary that aliens may have visited Earth using dimension-hopping technology to travel through hidden dimensions created at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research and the home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Loeb suggests in the documentary The Paranormal UFO Connection that undiscovered alien civilizations could […]
The Premier League has announced that semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) will be used from next season onwards. In a statement that was announced on Thursday afternoon, the Premier League rev
This year’s Apple Watch Series 10 could offer a notable improvement in battery life. A new supply chain report this week says that the Apple Watch Series 10 will use a new display technology that lowers power consumption and improves efficiency. In turn, this could improve battery life across the board. more
Tens of millions of eclipse glasses have been produced for the April 8 solar eclipse. With 20 years until the next solar eclipse over the U.S., it is likely that many of these will languish in drawers or end up in landfills.
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers have developed a patent-pending Continuous 3D-Cooled Atom Beam Interferometer derived from a patented cold and continuous beam of atoms to explore atom-interferometry-based inertial measurement systems as a path to reduce drift in Naval navigation systems.
