Quantum Computers Everywhere Like any other disruptive technology, quantum computing has its advocates and detractors. Professor Winfried Hensinger — lead at the Sussex Ion Quantum Technology Group and the director of the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies — is […]
At its annual IBM Quantum Summit today, IBM made several announcements of new advancements in its quantum technology and their quantum network. Some of these had been previously mentioned in roadmaps, technical papers, press releases […]
On July 5, the LHC roared to life for its third run after three years of continual improvements to the machine as well as to the experiments’ detectors and analysis tools, and immediately reached a […]
Quantum mechanics, the theory which rules the microworld of atoms and particles, certainly has the X factor. Unlike many other areas of physics, it is bizarre and counter-intuitive, which makes it dazzling and intriguing. When […]
If I haven’t blogged until now about the midterm election, it’s because I find the state of the world too depressing. Go vote, obviously, if you’re eligible and haven’t yet. How many more chances will […]
Researchers have developed a magnetic material capable of imitating the way the brain stores information. The material makes it possible to emulate the synapses of neurons and mimic the learning that occurs during deep sleep. […]
Thousands of miles from home in the steamy Amazon rainforest in the mid-1800s, the British naturalist Henry Walter Bates had a problem. More than one, really; there were thumb-size biting insects, the ever-present threat of […]
Two superfluids can exist at the same time in ultracold atomic clouds. Until now, their coexistence could not be observed experimentally. Now, however, physicists from Heidelberg University have demonstrated such a magnetic quantum fluid—it is […]
Institut quantique’s Quantum Enigma series continues with its latest video featuring the Monty Hall Problem. The diamond you won previously has disappeared. Your search leads you to Monty Hall Manor, where Kettu has hidden your […]
My name is Anders Liman. I’m a graduate student studying Tech Ethics and Science Policy at Duke University. I also hold a master’s in Computer Science from North Carolina State University. This summer, as part […]
