Diamond laser taps into spooky quantum world for true randomization

Randomization may seem simple, but there’s basically no such thing in classical physics – pretty much everything could be theoretically predicted if you had enough information. For true randomization you need to turn to the spooky world of quantum phys… Continue reading Diamond laser taps into spooky quantum world for true randomization

Quantum communication network goes long with help of drones

In the future, communication networks could be based on the bizarre world of quantum mechanics, and now we’re a step closer to that reality. Researchers in China have demonstrated a quantum network where entangled photons are beamed between drones and … Continue reading Quantum communication network goes long with help of drones

Soon, Quantum Computing Could Break Your Encryption

Quantum computing could break your encryption. It could happen within a couple of years, or it may be a decade or two away. Still, certainly, in the relatively near future, quantum computing will render traditional cryptography obsolete. It’s a … Continue reading Soon, Quantum Computing Could Break Your Encryption

New quantum particle may have been accidentally discovered

By definition metals and insulators are very different – but now Princeton physicists have accidentally discovered an unexpected quantum behavior in an insulator that was thought to be unique to metals. The find suggests a brand new type of quantum par… Continue reading New quantum particle may have been accidentally discovered

High-fidelity, long-distance teleportation paves way for quantum internet

A quantum internet would be much faster and more secure than the one you’re using right this second – and now such a network may be one step closer to reality. Scientists have used quantum teleportation to send information over long distances, with a h… Continue reading High-fidelity, long-distance teleportation paves way for quantum internet

Quantum-entangled atomic clock keeps spookily accurate time

Atomic clocks are the most precise timekeepers we have today, with the best ones keeping time to within one second in 15 billion years. But there’s always room for improvement, as researchers at MIT have now demonstrated with a new quantum-entangled at… Continue reading Quantum-entangled atomic clock keeps spookily accurate time

Chinese quantum computer completes 2.5-billion-year task in minutes

Researchers in China claim to have achieved quantum supremacy, the point where a quantum computer completes a task that would be virtually impossible for a classical computer to perform. The device, named Jiuzhang, reportedly conducted a calculation in… Continue reading Chinese quantum computer completes 2.5-billion-year task in minutes

Quantum X-ray microscope “ghost images” molecules using entanglement

Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high resolution but at a lower radiation dose.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Quantum X-ray microscope “ghost images” molecules using entanglement
