Oded Goldreich is a theoretical computer scientist at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel. He’s best known for helping to lay the rigorous foundations of cryptography in the 1980s, through seminal results like the Goldreich-Levin […]
The properties of carbon-based nanomaterials can be altered and engineered through the deliberate introduction of certain structural ‘imperfections’. The challenge, however, is to control the number and type of these defects. Chemists and materials scientists […]
The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy announced the allocation of €615 million to power the advancement of quantum technology, according to a statement. QuTech, the leading Dutch quantum institute, is a key […]
A quantum-enabled gas imaging Lidar camera able to visualise and quantify methane leaks caused by oil and natural gas extraction and use has been developed by QLM Technology Ltd, based in Bristol, according to a […]
