Discovery of Planckian time limit opens doors to novel quantum technologies
Image of heavy electrons with quantum entanglement on CeRhSn. Credit: Takuto Nakamura and Shin-ichi Kimura A joint research team from Japan has observed “heavy fermions,” electrons with dramatically enhanced mass,…
Quantum framework offers new approach to analyzing complex network data
QTSP, which is at the core of ranking algorithms, processes higher-order data. This data is represented as graphs and transformed into other graphs. This is usually taxing for classical computers,…
A new look inside the BTZ black hole
When space becomes time: A new look inside the BTZ black hole. Credit: Elsevier Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting…
Physicists still divided about quantum world, 100 years on
Quantum mechanics have led to the development of vast amounts of tech, such as lasers or transistors used phones. The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being…
From thousands of defects, one magnesium oxide qubit emerges as a quantum contender
Magnesium atoms (orange) and oxygen atoms (red) surround the nitrogen-vacancy center in magnesium oxide, shown by a transparent representation of a nitrogen atom under the missing magnesium atom. The yellow…
Simulating the Hawking effect and other quantum field theory predictions with polariton fluids
The central data of the paper. (a) The phase of the fluid (retrieved by interferometry) and in (b) the corresponding fluid velocity (solid line) for three different configurations as well…
