A joint research team has developed an innovative quantum-classical computing approach to design photochromic materials—light-sensitive compounds—offering a powerful tool to accelerate material discovery. Their findings were published in Intelligent Computing.
Building on their previous work in the same journal, the researchers introduced a computational-basis variational quantum deflation method as the foundation of their approach.
To validate its effectiveness, the team conducted a case study in photopharmacology, screening 4,096 diarylethene derivatives. They identified five promising candidates that exhibited two critical properties: large maximum absorbance wavelengths and high oscillator strengths. These characteristics are crucial for applications such as light-controlled drug delivery in photopharmacology.
For centuries, the I-Ching, or Book of Changes, has fascinated scholars, mystics, and seekers alike. It is often considered a mere divination tool, a mystical means of interpreting the world through the casting of hexagrams.
But what if the I-Ching is something more? What if it operates as a structured probability space, exhibiting patterns and behaviors reminiscent of quantum mechanics?
Our latest research suggests that the I-Ching might not be a random oracle but instead a system governed by deep mathematical structures.

Description: In this deep dive into the nature of gravity, dark matter, and dark energy, we explore a groundbreaking hypothesis that could revolutionize our understanding of the universe. What if gravity is not a fundamental force but an emergent property of spacetime inertia? This novel framework, proposed by Dave Champagne, reinterprets the role of energy and inertia within the fabric of the cosmos, suggesting that mass-energy interactions alone can account for gravitational effects—eliminating the need for exotic matter or hypothetical dark energy forces.
We begin by examining the historical context of gravity, from Newton’s classical mechanics to Einstein’s General Relativity. While these theories describe gravitational effects with incredible accuracy, they still leave major mysteries unsolved, such as the unexplained motions of galaxies and the accelerating expansion of the universe. Traditionally, these anomalies have been attributed to dark matter and dark energy—hypothetical substances that have yet to be directly observed. But what if there’s another explanation?
By treating spacetime itself as an energy field with intrinsic inertia, we propose that gravitational effects arise naturally from the resistance of this energy to changes in motion. Just as mass resists acceleration due to inertia, energy may also exhibit resistance at cosmic scales, leading to effects that mimic gravity, dark matter, and dark energy. This perspective offers a fresh way to interpret the missing mass problem, suggesting that the high-energy environments surrounding galaxies create inertia effects that explain their rotational speeds—without requiring an invisible mass component.
We explore how this framework extends to cosmic expansion. Instead of postulating an unknown repulsive force (dark energy), spacetime inertia may drive the acceleration of the universe as a natural consequence of energy distribution at vast scales. Could this be an alternative to Einstein’s cosmological constant? We analyze how large-scale resistance effects could account for the observations of an accelerating cosmos.
Quantum computing is an alternative computing paradigm that exploits the principles of quantum mechanics to enable intrinsic and massive parallelism in computation. This potential quantum advantage could have significant implications for the design of future computational intelligence systems, where the increasing availability of data will necessitate ever-increasing computational power. However, in the current NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era, quantum computers face limitations in qubit quality, coherence, and gate fidelity. Computational intelligence can play a crucial role in optimizing and mitigating these limitations by enhancing error correction, guiding quantum circuit design, and developing hybrid classical-quantum algorithms that maximize the performance of NISQ devices. This webinar aims to explore the intersection of quantum computing and computational intelligence, focusing on efficient strategies for using NISQ-era devices in the design of quantum-based computational intelligence systems.

When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg combined atomic and nuclear physics with unprecedented accuracy using two different methods of measurement.
Together with new calculations of the structure of atomic nuclei, theoretical physicists from the Technical University of Darmstadt and Leibniz University Hannover were able to show that measurements on the electron shell of an atom can provide information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus. At the same time, the precision measurements have set new limits regarding the strength of a potential dark force between neutrons and electrons.
The results have been published in the current issue of the journal Physical Review Letters.
Space and cooling limitations restrict the number of usable qubits. However, researchers believe connecting two qubits in separate dilution refrigerators using an optical fiber is now possible.
“The infrastructure is available, and we can now build the first simple quantum computing networks,”says Arnold.
While the ISTA physicists have made significant progress in developing superconducting quantum hardware, more work is needed. Their prototype has limited performance, especially in terms of optical power. Nevertheless, it proves that a fully optical readout of superconducting qubits is possible, and further advancements will depend on the industry.
Can our thoughts, our very essence of being, be explained by the enigmatic laws governing the subatomic world? The Quantum Mind theory proposes just that — a radical idea suggesting that consciousness isn’t just a product of neurons firing, but intricately woven into the fabric of quantum physics. This isn’t the plot of a science fiction novel, but a burgeoning field of study captivating scientists and philosophers alike.
While seemingly disparate, the realms of quantum physics and human consciousness share a curious connection. Quantum mechanics, the study of the universe’s tiniest constituents, reveals a reality vastly different from our everyday experience, a world of probabilities and interconnectedness. Could this be the missing piece in understanding our own inner world, the subjective experience of being conscious?
This essay explores the fascinating intersection of these two fields, examining how the peculiar characteristics of the quantum realm might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of consciousness.
Data security on the internet is under threat: in the future, quantum computers could decode even encrypted files sent over the internet in no time. Researchers worldwide are, therefore, experimenting with quantum networks that will enable a paradigm shift in the future when globally connected to form the quantum internet.
Such systems would be able to guarantee tap-proof communication through quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, as well as cryptographic quantum protocols. However, the quantum internet is still in its infancy: high costs coupled with high energy consumption and a high level of complexity for the necessary technologies have prevented quantum networks from scaling easily.
Two researchers at the Institute of Photonics at the Leibniz University Hannover want to remedy this situation. Using frequency-bin coding, they have developed a novel method for entanglement-based quantum key distribution. This quantum mechanical encryption technique uses different light frequencies, i.e. colors, to encode the respective quantum states. The method increases security and resource efficiency.
Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or “optical feedback.” Once the light has achieved desirable optical gain, laser diodes release it as powerful laser beams.
Photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) are advanced laser diodes where the optical gain is typically distributed laterally to the propagating light within a photonic crystal (PC) structure. They differ from traditional lasers by separating gain, feedback, and emission functions, offering scalable single-mode power and innovative designs. This leads to enhanced performance and new application possibilities.
In a paper that was published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics on 20 November 2024, researchers have developed a method to numerically simulate the interaction of light waves within PCSELs.
