What Are Some Quantum Entanglement Experiments and Results? | Entanglement has to be one of my top science topics that sounds too fantastical to be real. Yet countless experiments have verified its ability to correlate particle properties over vast distances and cause a collapse of a value via “spooky-action-at-a-distance” which from our vantage point seems nearly instantaneous. With that being said, I was interested in some experiments of entanglement I hadn’t heard of before and new findings involving them. Here are but a few that I found, so let’s take a closer look at the amazing world of entanglement. Source: Owlcation. Leonard Kelley, What Are Some Quantum Entanglement Experiments and Results?
Gold, vanadium, europium reveal existence of mysterious particle | An international group of researchers published a study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences where they present evidence of the existence of Majorana fermions -particles that are theorized to also be their own antiparticle- on the surface of a gold object.

Thinking Way, Way Outside The Box | Until now, there has been a massive race for dominance in the data center. Big companies have gotten rich on data, building infrastructure at a colossal rate. So far, it appears they haven’t overbuilt. But at some point, when more data is processed on premises rather than in the cloud, that could change. In the 1990s, at the start of the dot-com era, no one thought there could be too much fiber, but most of it sat dark after the 2001 downturn. Source:Thinking Way, Way Outside The Box…
01 Communique Enters into a Memorandum of Understanding with Nexusguard | 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (“01 Communique”) (TSXV:ONE) today announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nexusguard Consulting Limited (“NCL”) to work towards a formal business partnership in bringing quantum-safe IronCAP cryptography technology (ICC) to customers in the Asia Pacific including Mainland China and Hong Kong. IronCAP’s cryptographic system operates on conventional computer systems so users are protected today while being secure enough to safeguard against future attacks from the world of quantum computers.

Solving Complex Problems at the Speed of Light | Recently, there has been a growing interest in solving these hard combinatorial problems by designing optical machines. These optical machines consist of a set of optical transformations imparted to an optical signal, so that the optical signal will encode the solution to the problem after some amount of computation. Such machines could benefit from the fundamental advantages of optical hardware integrated into silicon photonics, such as low-loss, parallel processing, optical passivity at low optical powers and robust scalability enabled by the development of fabrication processes by the industry. However, the development of compact and fast photonic hardware with dedicated algorithms that optimally utilize the capability of this hardware, has been lacking.

Deploying Quantum Computers in Service to Combat Coronavirus Pandemic | In the fight against coronavirus outbreak, quantum computing has joined the force of disruptive technologies at the service to better pandemic control. The world’s mightiest supercomputer, IBM Summit is being deployed by researchers to identify chemical compounds that could contribute to the fight against coronavirus. Researchers were afforded emergency computation time on the machine, which performs analysis at an unrivaled pace. Summit reportedly generated results within 1-2 days, as opposed to the months it would have taken standard computing systems to produce equivalent results. To date, the quantum computer has helped researchers identify 77 small-molecule compounds worth investigating further as institutions around the world scramble to develop a coronavirus cure.

Where in the Future Is Quantum Computing? | What do pharmaceutical drugs, rechargeable batteries, and solar cells have in common? They share the potential to reap great benefits in design from the simulation of their behavior at the level of quantum mechanics. The trouble is, simulating the quantum mechanics of these systems can be extraordinarily difficult for even the largest supercomputers. The simulation entails keeping track of and performing calculations on a number of variables that grow exponentially with the number of electrons in each molecule.
