World experts heading down under to talk silicon quantum computing
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: computing, quantum physics
Scientists from around the world are meeting in Sydney to discuss the latest advancements in silicon quantum computing.
Scientists from around the world are landing in Sydney this week to join discussions on the latest research in silicon quantum computing with renowned physicist and Australian of the Year, Professor Michelle Simmons, and UNSW Sydney researchers from the Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQCT), including Professor Andrew Dzurak, Professor Sven Rogge and Professor Andrea Morello.
Bringing together more than 200 leading researchers in the field, the Silicon Quantum Electronics Workshop is a global initiative to share research insights and technology advancements in the race to build the world’s first quantum computer – in silicon.

Scientists Just Proved A Fundamental Quantum Physics Problem is Unsolvable
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
Scientists have proven for the very first time that one of the most fundamental problems of particle and quantum physics is mathematically unsolvable.
In short, they show that regardless of how no matter how perfectly we can mathematically describe a material on the microscopic level, we are never going to be able to predict its macroscopic behavior. Never.
The work was published in Nature.

What is String Theory And Why Humanity Absolutely Needs It
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
String theory is a complex theory that describes our reality with superstrings as the most basic and fundamental piece of all matter Theoretical particle physicist Daniele Amati supposedly said that string theory was 21st century physics that fell by chance into the 20th century.
