• Compact quantum light processing: New findings lead to advances in optical quantum computing

    An international collaboration of researchers, led by Philip Walther at University of Vienna, have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum technology, with the successful demonstration of quantum interference among several single photons using a novel resource-efficient platform. The work published in Science Advances represents a notable advancement in optical quantum computing that paves the way for more scalable quantum technologies.

  • Affordable Rack-Mount Quantum Computers Are Here!

    As I may have mentioned on occasion, when it comes to quantum computing, one of my favorite quotes comes from the Night Watch tome of Terry Pratchett Discworld series. The quote in question reads as follows: “It’s very hard to talk quantum using a language originally designed to tell other monkeys where the ripe fruit … Read More → "Affordable Rack-Mount Quantum Computers Are Here!"

  • Research demonstrates a new mechanism of order formation in quantum systems

    Researchers Kazuaki Takasan and Kyogo Kawaguchi of the University of Tokyo with Kyosuke Adachi of RIKEN, Japan, have demonstrated that ferromagnetism, an ordered state of atoms, can be induced by increasing particle motility and that repulsive forces between atoms are sufficient to maintain it.

  • First experimental proof for brain-like computer with water and salt

    Theoretical physicists at Utrecht University, together with experimental physicists at Sogang University in South Korea, have succeeded in building an artificial synapse. This synapse works with water and salt and provides the first evidence that a system using the same medium as our brains can process complex information.

  • The UK’s second commercial quantum computer has come online

    California-based quantum circuitry company Rigetti has brought a commercially available quantum computer to the UK. Only the second in the country, it was installed in collaboration with Oxford Instruments NanoScience — a cryogenics company that provides the cooling needed for superconducting qubits. The system, supported by grants from the UK government, is Rigetti’s first UK-based quantum computer and will be accessible via the company’s cloud computing services. When it comes to...

  • Australia places A$1 billion bet on quantum computing firm PsiQuantum

    A joint investment by the Australian federal government and the government of Queensland makes PsiQuantum one of the largest dedicated quantum computing firms in the world

  • Researchers Fault EPA for Resisting Efforts to Verify Accuracy of Computer Models on Methane

    The Environmental Protection Agency should withdraw and reissue a proposed rule regulating methane emissions because it hasn’t provided enough information to verify the computer modeling Read More

  • The end of the quantum tunnel: Exact instanton transseries for quantum mechanics

    In the quantum world, processes can be separated into two distinct classes. One class, that of the so-called "perturbative" phenomena, is relatively easy to detect, both in an experiment and in a mathematical computation. Examples are plentiful: the light that atoms emit, the energy that solar cells produce, the states of qubits in a quantum computer.

  • Quantum-proof encryption may not actually stop quantum hackers

    Cryptographers are scrambling to understand an algorithm that could undermine the mathematics behind next-generation encryption methods, which are intended to protect against quantum computers

  • Violent demonstrations against women are taking place in Melbourne and Brisbane, with tens of thousands demonstrating for the second day in a row

    Tens of thousands of demonstrators are demonstrating across the country demanding action against violence against women. A total of 15 protests under the slogan "No More: National Rally Against Gender-Based Violence" were planned for Saturday and Sunday in major cities across Australia's capital and regional cities.Protests began in Sydney, Hobart and Adelaide on Saturday afternoon before continuing in Melbourne and Brisbane on Sunday. This month alone has seen a spate of women allegedly killed...

    "We're trying something out that's very experimental"

    2XKO is firmly in its pre-release hype stage. People out there are fiending for the game, but unlike the past few years where information was drip-fed to keen fans every year or so, updates are coming firm and fast. The game is even coming to Evo Japan this weekend! Music to your ears, I'm sure.Speaking of, I sat down and spoke to a certain member of the 2XKO sound team last month that you may be familiar with. Creator of tracks including Bury the Light and Devil Trigger from Devil May Cry V -...
