Diamonds are often prized for their flawless shine, but Chong Zu, an assistant professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, sees a deeper value in these natural crystals. As reported in Physical Review Letters, Zu and his team have taken a major step forward in a quest to turn diamonds into a quantum simulator.

Co-authors of the paper include Kater Murch, the Charles M. Hohenberg Professor of Physics, and Ph.D. students Guanghui He, Ruotian (Reginald) Gong and Zhongyuan Liu. Their work is supported in part by the Center for Quantum Leaps, a signature initiative of the Arts & Sciences strategic plan that aims to apply quantum insights and technologies to physics, biomedical and life sciences, drug discovery and other far-reaching fields.

The researchers transformed diamonds by bombarding them with nitrogen atoms. Some of those nitrogen atoms dislodge carbon atoms, creating flaws in an otherwise perfect crystal. The resulting gaps are filled with electrons that have their own spin and magnetism, quantum properties that can be measured and manipulated for a wide range of applications.

While the Quantum Computer race is heating up with companies such as Atlantic Quantum Innovations joining the race, Google has published a plan to make Quantum Computers usable for everyday consumers by 2029. This is in hopes of revolutionizing Healthcare, finding room temperature superconductors, enabling with like artificial general intelligence through quantum AI and increasing supercomputer performance a million times. In this video, we’re exploring all of these secret projects and other Quantum Computing Companies.

If you’re in the know, you might’ve heard of the AGI leaker Jimmy Apples recently. After having made several correct leaks in the past and having taken the AI community by storm after announcing AGI, he disappeared off of Twitter. In this video I’ll describe what happened and how credible this person is and whether OpenAI or Deepmind are the ones who are in the posession of AGI.

This past spring, Sam Altman, the 38-year-old CEO of OpenAI, sat down with Silicon Valley’s favorite Buddhist monk, Jack Kornfield. This was at Wisdom 2.0, a low-stakes event at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, a forum dedicated to merging wisdom and “the great technologies of our age.” The two men occupied huge white upholstered chairs on a dark mandala-backed stage. Even the moderator seemed confused by Altman’s presence.

“What brought you here?” he asked.

The recent ratification of the IEEE 802.11bb standard represents a seismic shift in wireless communication, offering a new frontier that goes beyond Wi-Fi: LiFi (Light Fidelity). Utilizing infrared light instead of radio waves, this standard brings LiFi technology closer to mainstream adoption. This article delves into what this innovative standard means for various applications, including smart homes, healthcare, retail, and more.

The Core of IEEE 802.11bb

The IEEE 802.11bb standard serves as a robust framework for secure, reliable, and high-speed wireless communication. Unlike traditional LiFi that used visible light, this new standard utilizes infrared (IR) lightwaves, invisible to the human eye but highly effective for transmitting data at lightning speeds.
