If we could not find room for it, time to digest it, or a reason to run it during the past week, we have collected it here. Not a recap for the week, but a cleanup of pieces we received and just could not get to

Identifying light sources using artificial intelligence | Identifying sources of light plays an important role in the development of many photonic technologies, such as lidar, remote sensing, and microscopy. Traditionally, identifying light sources as diverse as sunlight, laser radiation, or molecule fluorescence has required millions of measurements, particularly in low-light environments, which limits the realistic implementation of quantum photonic technologies.

A Discovery That Long Eluded Physicists: Superconductivity to the Edge | A discovery that long eluded physicists has been detected in a laboratory at Princeton. A team of physicists detected superconducting currents — the flow of electrons without wasting energy — along the exterior edge of a superconducting material. The finding was published May 1 in the journal Science. Source: SciTechDaily. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, A Discovery That Long Eluded Physicists: Superconductivity to the Edge…
Four years of calculations lead to new insights into muon anomaly | Two decades ago, an experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory pinpointed a mysterious mismatch between established particle physics theory and actual lab measurements. When researchers gauged the behavior of a subatomic particle called the muon, the results did not agree with theoretical calculations, posing a potential challenge to the Standard Model — our current understanding of how the universe works.

The Executive’s Guide to Quantum Cryptography: Security in a Post-Quantum World | Today the most serious of these is the threat to the integrity and confidentiality of data and information that are vital to a company’s success. This does not come only from current cyber-attacks and hackers, which according to 2018 estimates by cyber-research firm Accenture, cost organizations globally an average of $13 million a year. It also includes the future threat posed by quantum computers, which will render public-key cryptographic systems helpless and enable competitors, adversaries, and possibly foreign entities to steal a company’s most precious information without leaving a trace behind.
