Quantum computer startup first to break 1,000-qubit milestone

A startup called Atom Computing has announced the first quantum computer to pass the 1,000-qubit milestone. The prototype, due to become available for use in 2024, leapfrogs IBM’s announcement of its new quantum computer platform expected in the next f… Continue reading Quantum computer startup first to break 1,000-qubit milestone

LIGO squeezes light to surpass quantum limit measuring spacetime ripples

Gravitational wave facilities measure distortions in the fabric of spacetime down to 10 quadrillionths the width of a hair – small enough to hear interference from particles popping in and out of existence. Now the LIGO facility has pushed beyond this … Continue reading LIGO squeezes light to surpass quantum limit measuring spacetime ripples

Quantum unveils DXi Edge-Core-Cloud Bundles for data protection and ransomware recovery

Quantum announced new bundled offerings for organization-wide data protection based on Quantum DXi-Series Backup Appliances. With continued data growth, the increasing value of data, and the constant threat of ransomware, customers must be forever vigi… Continue reading Quantum unveils DXi Edge-Core-Cloud Bundles for data protection and ransomware recovery

Quantum computer reveals chemical reaction in 100-billionth-speed slow-mo

Quantum computers can handle calculations that are well out of the reach of traditional computers, and now scientists in Australia have used the tech to observe something usually too fast for the eye to see. The team managed to slow down a molecular in… Continue reading Quantum computer reveals chemical reaction in 100-billionth-speed slow-mo

“Quantum superchemistry” observed in lab experiments for first time

Scientists at the University of Chicago have detected the first evidence of a phenomenon called “quantum superchemistry.” Long predicted but never confirmed, this effect could speed up chemical reactions, give scientists more control over them, and inf… Continue reading “Quantum superchemistry” observed in lab experiments for first time

“Quantum gravity” clues could be hiding in the songs of black holes

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists have outlined a plan to look for signs of quantum g… Continue reading “Quantum gravity” clues could be hiding in the songs of black holes

Next-gen separator harvests rare stable isotopes from heavier elements

To make the United States self-sufficient in rare exotic elements, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a latest generation electromagnetic isotope separator (EMIS) to harvest stable isotopes across the entire periodic table.Continue … Continue reading Next-gen separator harvests rare stable isotopes from heavier elements
