Many substances change their properties when they are cooled below a certain critical temperature. Such a phase transition occurs, for example, when water freezes. However, in certain metals there are phase transitions that do not […]
Does an unseen force lurk within genetics? Biologists have made enormous strides over the past 100 years in understanding the role of the millions of parcels that convey our genetic information — DNA, RNA and […]
Insider Brief A blockchain company reports that their patent application for a superconductor was approved. These systems would enable highly efficient and lossless electrical conductivity without the need for expensive and energy-consuming cooling systems. Room-temperature […]
Insider Brief OQC and CogniFrame are working together on a way to allow people — regardless of skills and knowledge — to experiment with quantum. FirstQ will be the world’s first plug-and-play quantum application store […]
Insider Brief The New York Times reports the US and allies are faced with balancing quantum protectionism with quantum cooperation. Tougher US export controls for quantum technology might inadvertently stifle momentum. Much of the protectionism […]
Executive Summary Now moving into the second half of 2023, we expect the pace of quantum to quicken – both in terms of financial backing, as well as research efforts. July saw the first hint […]
A long-standing challenge in the field of quantum physics is the efficient synchronization of individual and independently generated photons (i.e., light particles). Realizing this would have crucial implications for quantum information processing that relies on […]
Shown below are summaries of a few interesting research papers in quantum technology that we have seen over the past month. Hardware Title: Quantum control of a cat-qubit with bit-flip times exceeding ten secondsOrganizations: Alice […]
A month ago Coleman Hughes, a young writer whose name I recognized from his many thoughtful essays in Quillette and elsewhere, set up a virtual “AI safety roundtable” with Eliezer Yudkowsky, Gary Marcus, and, err, […]
