Some cosmologists have predicted the existence of “walls bounded by strings” in the aftermath of the Big Bang, and now a team of physicists have created these quantum structures on Earth for the first time. Continue reading Physicists Created Quantum Structures That May Have Birthed Dark Matter
From the record-breaking number of data breaches to the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), 2018 will certainly go down as a memorable year for the cybersecurity industry. And there have been plenty of learnings for both th… Continue reading The Future of Cybersecurity – A 2019 Outlook
It’s the end of the year and like all of you, my news feed has been filled with ‘Predictions for 2019’ to such a point that I basically ignore them. And while I admit that I did indeed write one of those a few years back, I’ve … Continue reading My Three Wishes for 2019
The FBI has taken down several of the largest DDoS-as-a-service sites on the web. Continue reading FBI Denies Service to 15 DDoS-for-Hire Sites, Charges Operators
Quantum computing is coming, so a lot of people are trying to articulate why we want it and how it works. Most of the explanations are either hardcore physics talking about spin and entanglement, or very breezy and handwaving which can be useful to get a little understanding but isn’t useful for applying the technology. Microsoft Research has a video that attempts to hit that spot in the middle — practical information for people who currently work with traditional computers. You can see the video below.
The video starts with basics you’d get from most videos talking about vector representation …read more
On this episode of the Petri Dish, we are talking to Quantum who makes the convincing pitch that tape is not dead and in fact, it may be the future.
The post Petri Dish: Tape is the past but also the future? appeared first on Petri.

It’s getting better, but is it getting better fast enough? Continue reading Breakthrough pushes Quantum Key Distribution beyond 500km
Canada is investing $2.7 million to develop quantum radar technology. Continue reading A ‘Quantum Radar’ System Will Watch for Stealth Aircraft and Missiles in the Arctic
What does it take to build a quantum computer? Lots of exotic supercooled hardware. However, creating a simulator isn’t nearly as hard and can give you a lot of insight into how this kind of computing works. A simulator doesn’t even have to be complicated. Here’s one that exists in about 150 lines of Python code.
You might wonder what the value is. After all, there are plenty of well-done simulators including Quirk that we have looked at in the past. What’s charming about this simulator is that with only 150 lines of code, you can reasonably read the whole …read more

Kagome is a pattern used to weave baskets from bamboo strips. The pattern is a symmetrical pattern of interlaced triangles that share corners. Scientists from MIT, Harvard, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have produced a kagome metal and found that it has exotic quantum properties.
Their paper, published in Nature (paywall), reports that the crystal made from layers of iron and tin atoms, causes electrons to flow in strange ways. The electrons bend into tight circular paths and flow along the edges without losing energy.
What is really interesting is that the effect persists at room temperature and above. The …read more
