Insider Brief European scientists are developing a new quantum space sensor that they say could be a took to help combat climate change by providing more accurate environmental data. This sensor will track changes in […]
Today is the day I became radicalized in my Jewish and Zionist identities. Uhhh, you thought that had already happened? Like maybe in the aftermath of October 7, or well before then? Hahahaha no. You […]
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, along with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and EeroQ, announced new investments in EeroQ’s quantum headquarters in Chicago’s Humboldt Park. EeroQ’s $1.1 million investment, supported by a […]
Topological protection provides unprecedented robustness of physical phenomena against all kinds of perturbations; but in doing so, it exercises topological censorship by hiding all kinds of interesting and important microscopic information. Recent experiments have collected […]
Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) has successfully installed a 20-qubit ion-trap quantum computer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre’s (LRZ) Quantum Integration Centre, marking the first operational ion-trap quantum computer in a data center environment. The system, […]
Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity with quantum mechanics will require transcending […]
In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic particles would all produce the same wreckage. […]
John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his teens. Then, […]
Karl Schwarzschild first stumbled upon black holes in 1916, but for a long time they weren’t really a thing. “Black holes were discovered as a purely geometric object — in a sense, just empty space. […]
Anyone who has seen the classic rabbit-duck optical illusion knows the magic and confusion of duality. One might see a duck facing to the left with its bill hanging slightly open or a rabbit with […]
