Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum world. This second law of entanglement manipulation proves that, just like heat or energy in an idealized thermodynamics regime, entanglementContinue Reading
For decades, quantum computers that perform calculations millions of times faster than conventional computers have remained a tantalizing yet distant goal. However, a new breakthrough in quantum physics may have just sped up the timeline. In an article published in PRX Quantum, researchers from the Graduate School of Engineering Science andContinue Reading
A team of researchers from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Yonsei University, and the Max Planck Institute have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this method improves the accuracy and efficiency of image recognitionContinue Reading
As climate-related disasters grow more intense and frequent, an international team of researchers has introduced Aurora — a groundbreaking AI model designed to deliver faster, more accurate, and more affordable forecasts for air quality, ocean waves, and extreme weather events. This model, called Aurora, has been trained on over aContinue Reading
Self-driving cars which eliminate traffic jams, getting a healthcare diagnosis instantly without leaving your home, or feeling the touch of loved ones based across the continent may sound like the stuff of science fiction. But new research, led by the University of Bristol and published today in the journal NatureContinue Reading
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new cooling technology that could significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers and high-powered electronics. The technology features a specially engineered fiber membrane that passively removes heat through evaporation. It offers a promising alternative to traditional cooling systemsContinue Reading
How can the strange properties of quantum particles be exploited to perform extremely accurate measurements? This question is at the heart of the research field of quantum metrology. One example is the atomic clock, which uses the quantum properties of atoms to measure time much more accurately than would beContinue Reading
Physicists at the University of Oxford have set a new global benchmark for the accuracy of controlling a single quantum bit, achieving the lowest-ever error rate for a quantum logic operation — just 0.000015%, or one error in 6.7 million operations. This record-breaking result represents nearly an order of magnitudeContinue Reading
Researchers at Swansea University have discovered a way to use mirrors to dramatically reduce the quantum noise that disturbs tiny particles — a breakthrough that might seem magical but is rooted in quantum physics. When scientists measure extremely small objects, such as nanoparticles, they face a difficult challenge: simply observingContinue Reading
A team of researchers has developed a technique that makes high-dimensional quantum information encoded in light more practical and reliable. This advancement, published in Physical Review Letters, could pave the way for more secure data transmission and next-generation quantum technologies. Quantum information can be stored in the precise timing ofContinue Reading
