A router for photons : Transducer could enable superconducting quantum networks

2 avril

Applied physicists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a photon router that could plug into quantum networks to create robust optical interfaces for noise-sensitive microwave quantum computers.

Hidden side channels in quantum sources could compromise secure communication

1er avril

A team of researchers from University of Toronto Engineering has discovered hidden multi-dimensional side channels in existing quantum communication protocols.

Vincent van Gogh’s ’The Starry Night’ is not a masterpiece when it comes to flow physics, researchers say

1er avril

The Dutch master Vincent van Gogh may have painted one of Western history’s most enduring works, but "The Starry Night" is not a masterpiece of flow physics—despite recent attention to its captivating swirls, according to researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University and the (…)

A step toward plant-based gelatin : Gum tragacanth shows promise for reducing animal use

1er avril

With increased awareness about food sources and their environmental impacts, replacing animal-derived products in food and drugs is a significant research area. One common—but often overlooked—animal protein is gelatin, found everywhere from candy to plastic-free packaging.

Magnesium becomes a possible superconductor near the 2D limit

1er avril

Magnesium is a common chemical element, an alkaline earth metal, which is highly chemically reactive and is very light (even lighter than aluminum). Magnesium is abundant in plants and minerals and plays a role in human physiology and metabolism. In the cosmos, it is produced by large aging stars.

Revolutionizing 3D vision : How miniaturized snapshot polarization imaging is transforming depth sensing

1er avril

Capturing precise 3D details with a single camera has long been a challenge. Traditional methods often require complex dual-camera setups or specialized lighting conditions that are impractical for real-world applications. However, a groundbreaking approach developed at Nanjing University is set (…)

’Superhuman vision’ : Powerful 3D imaging technology paves way for next-generation eye-tracking

1er avril

Eye tracking plays a critical role in the latest virtual and augmented reality headsets and is an important technology in the entertainment industry, scientific research, medical and behavioral sciences, automotive driving assistance and industrial engineering. Tracking the movements of the (…)

A quantum superhighway for ultrafast NOON states

31 mars

Until now, creating quantum superpositions of ultra-cold atoms has been a real headache, too slow to be realistic in the laboratory. Researchers at the University of Liège have now developed an innovative new approach combining geometry and "quantum control," which drastically speeds (…)

No technical obstacles to new giant particle collider in Europe : CERN

31 mars

Europe’s CERN laboratory said on Monday that a detailed analysis revealed no technical obstacles to building the world’s biggest particle collider, even as critics took issue with the "pharaonic" $17-billion project.

Study resolves long-standing debate on low-pressure phase transitions in hafnium oxide

31 mars

Researchers from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Southwest Jiaotong University, have combined high-pressure electrical transport experiments, high-pressure Raman spectroscopy, and (…)
