Improving Quantum Computing: It’s All About Communication
Surprising communication between atoms could improve quantum computing A group of University of Wisconsin–Madison physicists has identified conditions under which relatively distant atoms communicate with each other in ways that had previously only been seen in atoms closer together — a development that could have applications to quantum computing. In their experiments, UW–Madison physicists led […]
Israeli Firm Expands Quantum Safe Cybersecurity Hardware Efforts
Hub Security Partners with Global IT Provider LS International Following the announcement of its quantum-proof capabilities in late June 2020, Tel-Aviv based cybertech firm Hub Security has now announced another strategic partnership with LS International.

Advancing Quantum Devices Via Graphene Nanoribbons
Scientists synthesized graphene nanoribbons, shown in yellow, on a titanium dioxide substrate, in blue. The lighter ends of the ribbon show magnetic states. The inset drawing shows how the ends have up and down spin, suitable for creating qubits.

Too Early to Imagine Practical Implications of Quantum Time Dilation?
New Time Dilation Phenomenon Revealed: Timekeeping Theory Combines Quantum Clocks and Einstein’s Relativity Read More… + “Whenever we have developed better clocks, we’ve learned something new about the world,” said Alexander Smith, an assistant professor of physics at Saint Anselm College and adjunct assistant professor at Dartmouth College, who led the research as a junior […]
Xi Jinping: Quantum Sci & Tech is of Scientific and Strategic Significance
Now on Beijing’s wishlist: quantum technology Key points… + Every one or two months, China’s Politburo, an elite group of China’s top 25 leaders, holds a “study session,” inviting external experts to lecture on topics ranging from archaeology to finance to legal systems. But on Oct. 16, they covered a somewhat novel topic: quantum technology. […]
