Lev­er­ag­ing Ethics to Make Quan­tum Research Sus­tain­able

“Innsbruck is a leading center in the development of new quantum technologies. In order to understand the processes of societal change triggered by these technologies and to be able to develop corresponding ethics frameworks, the University of Innsbruck is founding …

Mathematics works in serendipitous ways

“A theorem developed by Queen’s professor Ernst Kani was used to crack an encryption algorithm in an US government test. In the digital era and moving towards quantum computing, protecting data against hack attacks is one of our biggest …

Microlaser Chip Adds New Dimensions to Quantum Communication

“Researchers at Penn Engineering have created a chip that outstrips the security and robustness of existing quantum communications hardware. Their technology communicates in “qudits,” doubling the quantum information space of any previous on-chip laser. Liang Feng, Professor in the Departments …

NASA, ESA Reveal Tale of Death, Dust in Orion Constellation

“In a tale of cosmic proportions, the region is being transformed by the massive stars that live and die within it. A new image combining previously released data from three telescopes shows a region that includes the Orion Nebula, named …

NASA’s Europa Clipper Gets Its Wheels for Traveling in Deep Space

“The enormous spacecraft that will head to Jupiter’s moon Europa uses four large reaction wheels to help keep it oriented. Just as NASA’s Mars rovers rely on robust wheels to roam the Red Planet and conduct science, some …

New collaboration to probe physical reality’s quantum ‘glue’

“An ambitious new collaboration promises to expand our understanding of what some physicists have called the “glue” that holds the universe together — the strong nuclear force. “One of the fundamental forces of nature is the strong nuclear force,” said Igor …

New quantum tool developed in groundbreaking experimental achievement

“For the first time in experimental history, researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have created a device that generates twisted neutrons with well-defined orbital angular momentum. Previously considered an impossibility, this groundbreaking scientific accomplishment provides a brand new …

Nexperia releases ultrafast 650 V Recovery Rectifiers for automotive and industrial applications

“Nexperia, the expert in essential semiconductors, today announced the expansion of its portfolio of Clip-bonded FlatPower (CFP) packaged diodes for industrial and automotive applications. The latest additions include four 650 V, 1 A parts available in CFP3 and CFP5 packages …

Pushing the Boundaries of Fluid Equations

“The motion of fluids in nature, including the flow of water in our oceans, the formation of tornadoes in our atmosphere, and the flux of air surrounding airplanes, have long been described and simulated by what are known as the …

Quantum algorithms save time in the calculation of electron dynamics

“Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, quantum computer algorithms can already run on conventional servers that simulate a …
