Quantum tech hurdles problems of taking real-time 3D images underwater

Taking 3D images underwater is tricky due to inconsistent lighting conditions and particles in the water that scatter light and cause distortion. Researchers have created a novel prototype system that uses quantum technology and LiDAR to overcome these… Continue reading Quantum tech hurdles problems of taking real-time 3D images underwater

Quantum microscope taps “spooky” physics to double resolution of images

Scientists at Caltech have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the resolution of images without damaging the sample… Continue reading Quantum microscope taps “spooky” physics to double resolution of images

World’s heaviest “Schrödinger’s cat” pushes quantum boundaries

An artist's impression of

The famous thought experiment of Schrödinger’s Cat neatly sums up a complex quantum phenomenon, highlighting how bizarre that unseen world is by putting it in terms we can visualize. Now, scientists have created the heaviest Schrödinger’s Cat to date, probing the boundaries between quantum and classical physics.
