A consortium consisting of Sparrow Quantum, Single Quantum, Refined Laser Systems, and the Ruhr-Universität Bochum has launched the Quantum Transceiver Based on Deterministic Single-Photon Sources (QTRAIN) initiative. Backed by the EUREKA R&D network, the project […]
Sparrow Quantum, a Danish company specializing in photonic quantum chips, has completed its Series A funding round, raising a total of €27.5 million ($32 million USD). The investment, which is the largest of its kind […]
When it comes to hard problems, computer scientists seem to be stuck. Consider, for example, the notorious problem of finding the shortest round-trip route that passes through every city on a map exactly once. All […]
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy conditions. It’s the first experimental realization of a powerful quantum sensing protocol, outperforming all comparable classical […]
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) has announced an investment partnership with the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM), a leading global accelerator for advanced therapies headquartered in Canada. The collaboration is intended to accelerate next-generation therapeutic […]
When a system undergoes a transformation, yet an underlying physical property remains unchanged, this property is referred to as “symmetry.” Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) occurs when a system breaks out of this symmetry when it […]
Scott’s foreword: Today I’m honored to turn over Shtetl-Optimized to a guest post from Michigan theoretical computer scientist Seth Pettie, who writes about a SOSA Best Paper Award newly renamed in honor of the late […]
Quantum communication is edging closer to reality thanks to a breakthrough in teleporting information between photons from different quantum dots—one of the biggest challenges in building a quantum internet. By creating nearly identical semiconductor-based photon […]
The discovery of strange, ultra-red objects—especially the extreme case known as The Cliff—has pushed astronomers to propose an entirely new type of cosmic structure: black hole stars. These exotic hybrids could explain rapid black hole […]
Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing new data from NASA’s […]
