Exploring ‘the most spooky, weird kind of science’ | Alessandro Rossi applies quantum physics to the study of measurements in a ‘mind-boggling’ marriage of disciplines. Source: nature. Exploring ‘the most spooky, weird kind of science’…
Levitation: Classic Magic Trick May Enable Quantum Computing | Quantum computing could solve problems that are difficult for traditional computer systems. It may seem like magic. One step toward achieving quantum computing even resembles a magician’s trick: levitation. A new project at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility will attempt this trick by levitating a microscopic particle in a superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity to observe quantum phenomena.
