Quantum 5, 547 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-21-547 The laws of thermodynamics are usually formulated under the assumption of infinitely large environments. While this idealization facilitates theoretical treatments, real physical systems are always finite and their interaction range […]
Quantum 5, 546 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-21-546 The study of low-dimensional quantum systems has proven to be a particularly fertile field for discovering novel types of quantum matter. When studied numerically, low-energy states of low-dimensional quantum systems […]
Quantum 5, 545 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-21-545 The main purpose of this study is to introduce a semi-classical model describing betting scenarios in which, at variance with conventional approaches, the payoff of the gambler is encoded into […]
PRESS RELEASE — A breaking-ground ceremony was held at the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) facility in Oxfordshire, ahead of the commencement of construction works. Professor Sir Peter Knight, Chair of the National Quantum Technology Programmes Strategy […]
If you have a few chess sets at home, try the following exercise: Arrange eight queens on a board so that none of them are attacking each other. If you succeed once, can you find […]
Oxford Instruments (OI) is one of the biggest names in the UK technology sector. From providing high technology products and services to the world’s leading industrial companies and scientific research communities, OI has solidified its […]
Last May we wrote about a new Research Credit Program at IonQ that would provide up to $10,000 in computer time credits for approved projects at accredited academic institutions. Apparently, IonQ was so pleased with […]
Quantum processor unit (Credit: Berkeley Lab and Bleximo Corp) By: Monica Hernandez Contact: monica.hernandez@lbl.gov A team of experimental physicists at the Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) demonstrated an error characterization […]
Light has no mass, but Europe’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can convert light’s energy into massive particles. Physicists studied matter-generating collisions of light and showed the departure angle of their debris is subtly distorted by […]
Hot on the heels of proving an 87-year-old prediction that matter can be generated directly from light, Rice University physicists and their colleagues have detailed how that process may impact future studies of primordial plasma […]
