There is so much that we do not yet know about neutrinos. Neutrinos are very light, chargeless, and elusive particles that are involved in a process called beta decay. Understanding this process may reveal the […]

Europe’s CERN laboratory has taken its first steps towards building a huge new particle accelerator that would eclipse its Large Hadron Collider—and hopes to see light at the end of the tunnel. Click to rate […]
Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, is found everywhere from the dust filling most of outer space to the cores of stars to many substances here on Earth. This would be reason enough […]
Watching and analyzing hundreds of TEDx talks, that too can be research. That becomes clear from the work of Ph.D. student Aletta Meinsma, who is studying potential problems in popular communication about quantum technologies. She […]
Where did all the antimatter go? After the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts. Why we live in a universe of matter, with very little antimatter, remains a mystery. […]
Non-classical states of light such as single photons and entangled photons are key ingredients for chips dedicated to quantum computation, quantum sensing, quantum measurement, etc. Fabrication of a traditional chip is hard, but with billions […]
Even if you are not a quantum physicist, you will most likely have heard of Schrödinger’s famous cat. Erwin Schrödinger came up with the feline that can be alive and dead at the same time […]
The “spooky action at a distance” that once unnerved Einstein may be on its way to being as pedestrian as the gyroscopes that currently measure acceleration in smartphones. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 […]
Quantum theory, which was formulated in the first three decades of the twentieth century, describes a wide array of phenomena at the molecular, atomic and subatomic scales. Among its many technological applications, three have become […]
In the world of computing, we typically think of information as being stored as ones and zeros—also known as binary encoding. However, in our daily life we use ten digits to represent all possible numbers. […]
