Insider Brief: The city of Hamburg will try to build upon current expertise and establish a dedicated Hamburg Quantum Computing School. The authorities will provide around 34.1 million euros between 2023 and 2028. The Hamburg […]
Whether it is automatic speech recognition, self-driving cars or medical research: our need for computing power is constantly on the rise. Yet, the possibilities for increasing the performance of microchips will soon have reached their […]
For the first time, physicists have observed novel quantum effects in a topological insulator at room temperature. This breakthrough, published as the cover article of the October issue of Nature Materials, came when Princeton scientists […]
Quantum computers have attracted considerable interest of late for their potential to crack problems in a few hours where they might take the age of the universe (i.e., tens of billions of years) on the […]
On Sunday, October 9, Judith Racusin was 35,000 feet in the air, en route to a high-energy astrophysics conference, when the biggest cosmic explosion in history took place. “I landed, looked at my phone, and […]
Insider Brief Multiverse Computing and Mila are launching a new partnership that will use quantum and quantum-inspired methods to advance AI and machine learning (ML) The partnership will also focus on developing new leaders in […]
Protons are tiny yet they carry a lot of heft. They inhabit the center of every atom in the universe and play a critical role in one of the strongest forces in nature. Click to […]
Physicists have created the first Bose-Einstein condensate—the mysterious fifth state of matter—made from quasiparticles, entities that do not count as elementary particles but that can still have elementary-particle properties like charge and spin. For decades, […]
Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons — quasiparticles that combine electrons and positively charged ‘holes’ — in a semiconductor. Quasiparticle Bose-Einstein condensates have for six decades been something of a holy grail […]
Extreme miniaturization of infrared (IR) detectors is critical for their integration into next-generation consumer electronics, wearables and ultra-small satellites. Thus far, however, IR detectors have relied on bulky (and expensive) materials and technologies. A team […]
