The first human Martian explorers will face huge risks, there’s no way around it.
It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

An asteroid is approaching, so I invited one of Earth’s defenders to dinner
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: asteroid/comet impacts, existential risks, satellites
Near-Earth Asteroid 99942 Apophis will be visible on Sunday. Some say it could ultimately destroy satellites and spaceships. The creators of the Unistellar eVscope telescope are trying to marshal our defense.

South Africa Moves to Manufacture, Commercialize Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: energy, government
After over a decade of research and development around hydrogen fuel technology, President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa is now ready to manufacture and commercialise hydrogen fuels technology.
The President said this when he responded to a debate on the State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Thursday.
For more than a decade, government has been working with various partners, including the private sector and academia, to develop hydrogen fuel cell and lithium battery storage technologies.

Qudits and High-Dimensional Quantum Computing
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: computing, information science, quantum physics
10 November 2020
Qudit is a multi-level computational unit alternative to the conventional 2-level qubit. Compared to qubit, qudit provides a larger state space to store and process information, and thus can provide reduction of the circuit complexity, simplification of the experimental setup and enhancement of the algorithm efficiency. This review provides an overview of qudit-based quantum computing covering a variety of topics ranging from circuit building, algorithm design, to experimental methods. We first discuss the qudit gate universality and a variety of qudit gates including the pi/8 gate, the SWAP gate, and the multi-level controlled-gate. We then present the qudit version of several representative quantum algorithms including the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, the quantum Fourier transform, and the phase estimation algorithm.
