Nuclear Physicists Create Scalable Quantum Circuits to Simulate Fundamental Physics
The Science Simulating matter in extreme conditions is critical to answering fundamental questions about nature. The Standard Model of particle physics provides a set of equations that can explain these mysteries. However,…
Metasurfaces entangle light and information in new study
Polarization and holographic information become entangled in a quantum hologram. Holographic letters demonstrate entanglement through polarization of paired photons. By selecting different polarizer orientations for one photon, specific letters in…
