Researchers at JILA, a joint research institute operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder, have demonstrated a novel atomic clock design that combines near-continuous operation with […]
Researchers at the University of Toulon in France found evidence that quantum Grover searches might be an ordinary feature of electron behavior may explain the genetic code, one of the greatest puzzles in biology. The […]
In 2010, Randolf Pohl of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (Quantamagazine) announced his team precisely measured the size of the proton by substituting the electron of a hydrogen atom by a muon. The size […]
The quantum sensor, which NASA has developed with Bay Area-based company AOSense, relies on some 100 million cesium atoms. The device launches the atoms inside a cylindrical column and times how quickly they fall. Atoms […]
Different approaches to quantum mechanics invoke different meanings of probability. What is “probability”? This very amazing article discusses three of the leading approaches to quantum theory: the “dynamical collapse” theories, such as the GRW model, the […]
NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) has enlisted researchers from academia and private industry to get quantum-resistant cryptography ready for 2022. The agency is overseeing the second phase of its Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process to narrow down the […]
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have created a superconducting circuit that couples quantum waves of magnetic spins called magnons to photons of equivalent energy. “The electromagnetic wave represented by […]
Delft University researchers presented an interesting paper (A Link Layer Protocol for Quantum Networks) at the recent ACM SIGCOMM conference regarding the challenges of building a quantum communication network stack. Effective quantum networking needs a robust networking […]
An exotic physical phenomenon, known as the Aharonov-Bohm Effect, involving optical waves, synthetic magnetic fields and time reversal, has been directly observed for the first time. This new finding could eventually lead to advances toward […]
Researchers at ETH Zurich’s Institute for Quantum Electronics successfully implemented a fundamental ingredient for the simulation of quantum gauge theories in a laboratory experiment. Their work is based on a technique called Floquet engineering. Gauge […]
