Harnessing the Power of a Single Photon to Move Electrons
Harnessing the Power of a Single Photon to Move Electrons. The Quantum Dynamics Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology has demonstrated microwave influence of electrons. The team of researchers trapped electrons in a super-cooled, vacuum-sealed chamber where the electrons were bombarded with microwaves. The particles and microwave photons “altered each other’s movement and […]
Strategic U.S. Policy and Quantum Science: Time to Prepare
Strategic U.S. Policy and Quantum Science: Time to Prepare. The Heritage Foundation has presented a primer for U.S. national security policymakers. Whether in policy or technology, the piece is an excellent synopsis, in simple terms, on the current status of quantum computing. From the report and primer, “Many of the largest promises of quantum science […]
Quantum Fundamentals, Architecture and Machines
Quantum Fundamentals, Architecture and Machines. Stanford University is set to support the recently signed National Quantum Initiative Act. By launching the Quantum Fundamentals, Architecture and Machines (Q-FARM) initiative to leverage and expand the university’s strengths in quantum science and engineering and to train the field’s next generation of scientists, Stanford aims to accomplish three facets […]
Quantum Random Number Generator
Quantum Random Number Generator. Touted incessantly in the media, and rightly so, quantum computing could crack encryption codes throughout the globe. The key threat to current encryption standards, including AES and RSA, lies in the fact that “cracking them would take too much time and resources to be feasible… The massive increases in processing power that […]
