Light could make semiconductor computers a million times faster or even go quantum
Posted by Shane Hinshaw in categories: computing, quantum physics
A technique to manipulate electrons with light could bring quantum computing up to room temperature.
A team of researchers in Germany and at the University of Michigan have demonstrated how infrared laser pulses can shift electrons between two different states, the classic 1 and 0, in a thin sheet of semiconductor.

Does Mystery of Quantum Physics Prove God Exists?

Ironically, my more popular posts are ones furthest from my passion and core interests. They are larks—never intended to go viral. This is about one of them…
Apart from family, I typically steer clear of religious topics. I identify with a mainstream religion, but it is completely beside the purpose of Lifeboat Foundation, and it is a personal affair.[1]
Yet, here we discuss a religious topic, after all. Let’s get started…

Nobody knows how far off useful quantum computers are: Here’s why
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: computing, quantum physics
The recent breakthroughs in quantum physics expand on work down nearly two decades ago. So how far away are useful quantum computers?

Business Impact
If quantum computers threaten blockchains, quantum blockchains could be the defense.
Quantum computers could break the cryptography that conventional blockchains rely on. Now physicists say a way of entangling the present with the past could foil this type of attack.

A new physics discovery could change the game for quantum computing
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: computing, mathematics, particle physics, quantum physics
From tunneling through impenetrable barriers to being in two places at the same time, the quantum world of atoms and particles is famously bizarre. Yet the strange properties of quantum mechanics are not mathematical quirks—they are real effects that have been seen in laboratories over and over.
One of the most iconic features of quantum mechanics is “entanglement”—describing particles that are mysteriously linked regardless of how far away from each other they are. Now three independent European research groups have managed to entangle not just a pair of particles, but separated clouds of thousands of atoms. They’ve also found a way to harness their technological potential.
When particles are entangled they share properties in a way that makes them dependent on each other, even when they are separated by large distances. Einstein famously called entanglement “spooky action at a distance,” as altering one particle in an entangled pair affects its twin instantaneously—no matter how far away it is.
