The field of integrated photonics has taken off in recent years. These microchips utilize light particles (photons) in their circuitry as opposed to the electronic circuits that, in many ways, form the backbone of our […]
In the fall of 2017, Mehtaab Sawhney, then an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, joined a graduate reading group that set out to study a single paper over a semester. But by the […]
The Quantum Computation Structures team of the Laboratoire Méthodes Formelles (LMF), part of Université Paris-Saclay and Inria Saclay, is offering a number of postdocs. The team focuses on models of quantum computing for the sake […]
Quantum Computing Inc. (QCI) has added Lewis Shepherd as a third person to their Technical Advisory Board. Nr, Shephard is currently a Senior Director, Research & Emerging Technologies Strategy at VMWare and has prior experience […]
The behavior of so-called “strange metals” has long puzzled scientists—but a group of researchers at the University of Toronto may be one step closer to understanding these materials. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 […]
[Warning: This might be the longest Shtetl-Optimized post of all time! But that’s OK; I expect most people will only want to read the introductory part anyway.] As I’ve mentioned before, economist, blogger, and friend […]
Researchers from around the world have sought to answer important questions about the most basic laws of physics that govern our universe. Their experiment, the Majorana Demonstrator, has helped to push the horizons on research […]
Quantum computing has been hailed as the next big thing in computing, with the potential to revolutionize many fields, including cryptography, drug discovery, and optimization problems. And over the last decade, we have seen great […]
An oak tree. The symbiotic fungus intertwined with its roots. A cardinal chirping from one of its branches. Our best clue yet to their shared ancestor might have arrived in electron microscope images that were […]
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed chip-scale devices for simultaneously manipulating the color, focus, direction of travel, and polarization of multiple beams of laser light. Click to rate this […]
