Insider Brief A national security analyst writes in an Op-Ed that there is a need to streamline leadership in quantum research within the Department of Defense (DoD). Rebecca Grant, a national security analyst at IRIS […]
Repetition doesn’t always have to be humdrum. In mathematics, it is a powerful force, capable of generating bewildering complexity. Even after decades of study, mathematicians find themselves unable to answer questions about the repeated execution […]
The simplest possible molecule H2+ was one of the very first molecules to form in the cosmos. This makes it significant for astrophysics, but also an important object of research for fundamental physics. However, it […]
Towards deterministic creation of quantum emitters in 2D materials for optical quantum technologies We propose a PhD position with a possibility of doing a Master thesis of 4 to 6 months beforehand. The position leads […]
Insider Brief A quantum communication technique could help secure Web 3.0 against the formidable threat of quantum computing. Long-Distance Free-Space Quantum Secure Direct Communication (LF QSDC) could secure data by enabling encrypted direct messaging without […]
Insider Brief Bristol and London-based quantum algorithms startup Phasecraft has won a UK government contract to explore using quantum computing to optimise energy grids as part of the Quantum Catalyst Fund. Phasecraft’s contract is one […]
Topological wave structures are wave patterns that exhibit specific topological properties, or in other words, properties that remain unvaried under smooth deformations of a physical system. These structures, such as vortices and skyrmions, have attracted […]
A postdoc position is available in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge, in the group of Hamza Fawzi. The position is on the applications of convex relaxations […]
Quantum 8, 1267 (2024). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-02-27-1267 Naive attempts to put together relativity and quantum measurements lead to signaling between space-like separated regions. In QFT, these are known as $textit{impossible measurements}$. We show that the same problem […]
Insider Brief “Fractional charge,” is exceedingly rare, and if it can be controlled, it could help to build resilient, fault-tolerant quantum computers. MIT physicists have observed the elusive fractional charge effect in five layers of […]
