RIKEN Study Explores Quantum Interference Using Silicon with “More accessible temperatures”
RIKEN Study Explores Quantum Interference Using Silicon with “More accessible temperatures” Quantum interferometry demonstrated in silicon at more practical temperatures Selected notes ~ + Using a silicon-based transistor similar to those found in everyday electronics, RIKEN researchers have produced a functional quantum ‘qubit’—the quantum equivalent of bits used in conventional computers—that operates above the extremely […]
Quantum Physics, Predictions, and Tunneling
Quantum Physics, Predictions, and Tunneling How Long Does Quantum Tunneling Take? Key points… + The phenomenon known as “tunneling” is one of the best-known predictions of quantum physics, because it so dramatically confounds our classical intuition for how objects ought to behave. If you create a narrow region of space that a particle would have […]

U.S Air Force Joining IBM Q Network Air Force Research Laboratory to Join IBM Q Network as First DOD-led IBM Q Hub In brief… + The Air Force Research Laboratory has formally been established as an IBM Q Network Hub, the first-ever collaboration of its kind in the Department of Defense. This alliance will provide […]
Spin-splitting Energy Near Zero? Use It as a Fundamental Component in a Quantum Computer
Spin-splitting Energy Near Zero? Use it as a Fundamental Component in a Quantum Computer Finding novel materials for practical devices Excerpts and salient points ~ + For the past four years, Kulik and Jon Paul Janet, a graduate student in chemical engineering, have been focusing on transition metal complexes with “spin” – a quantum mechanical […]
Adding a Building Block to the Quantum Toolbox: Spintronics at the University of Delaware
Adding a Building Block to the Quantum Toolbox: Spintronics at the University of Delaware U.S. Department of Energy sees powerful potential in spintronics research Excerpts and salient points ~ + The more commonly known focus of electronics is on the charge of electrons. This relatively new paradigm focuses on their spin, a quantum property of […]
As The World Encrypts; Quantum Cryptography Sought
As The World Encrypts; Quantum Cryptography Sought ‘Golden Age Of SIGINT May Be Over’: New Encryption Foils IC Eavesdropping Key points ~ + The US government cannot control the skyrocketing use of encrypted communications that allow adversaries, terrorists, criminals — and ordinary folks who care deeply about privacy, including journalists — to block eavesdropping by […]
Virginia Tech Team Advances Quantum Simulations On Noisy Quantum Computers
Virginia Tech Team Advances Quantum Simulations On Noisy Quantum Computers Virginia Tech researchers lead breakthrough in quantum computing Selected notes ~ + The large, error-correcting quantum computers envisioned today could be decades away, yet experts are vigorously trying to come up with ways to use existing and near-term quantum processors to solve useful problems despite […]

European, Russian Physicists Push Step Closer to Semiconductor Use for Quantum Computing
European, Russian Physicists Push Step Closer to Semiconductor Use for Quantum Computing Scientists send light through 2D crystal layer in quantum computing leap Excerpts and salient points ~ + One of the problems is that researchers haven’t been able to develop a practical and effective platform for moving photons around. Scientists have previously tested a […]
Is Quantum Darwinism Really Only About Quantum Mechanics’ Interaction with Its Environment?
Is Quantum Darwinism Really Only About Quantum Mechanics’ Interaction with Its Environment? Quantum Darwinism Could Explain What Makes Reality Real Selected notes ~ + So far, so good for quantum Darwinism. “All these studies see what is expected, at least approximately,” Zurek said. Riedel says we could hardly expect otherwise, though: In his view, QD […]
