- Space Exploration’s Next Generation Starts Here
A summer internship at Jet Propulsion Laboratory offers students from universities like Caltech an opportunity to play an active role in discovery and exploration. This program has created a talent ecosystem whose influence spans fields such as quantum physics and NASA. During academic year studies, Tatyana McVay is researching polyatomic molecules for potential applications.
- This memoir is a personal and moving journey through the quantum world
Entangled States by Karmela Padavic-Callaghan is a memoir blending personal experiences with quantum physics concepts. The book interweaves the author's journey as a queer immigrant, academic career, and science journalism to explore themes like wave-particle duality and indefinite causality.
- AI just supercharged the race to find room temperature superconductors
Scientists combined machine learning with quantum physics to discover two new superconductors and a faster search method, potentially advancing the quest for room-temperature superconductors.
- Entanglement Builds Space-Time. Now "Magic" Gives It Gravity
The article discusses how quantum entanglement constructs space-time and introduces a new concept called 'magic' that may explain how gravity emerges from this framework. It references a Quanta Magazine article and Hacker News comments on the topic.
- Einstein’s “wormhole” may actually reveal a hidden mirror of time
New research proposes that Einstein and Rosen's theoretical wormholes may not be cosmic tunnels connecting distant spaces, but rather bridges connecting mirror versions of time within quantum physics. This theory potentially resolves the black hole information paradox and suggests the universe may have existed before the Big Bang.
- Imperagen raises £5 million to use quantum physics, AI on enzyme engineering
Biotech company Imperagen has secured £5 million ($6.7 million) in seed funding led by PXN Ventures to advance enzyme engineering using quantum physics and artificial intelligence. The round also includes participation from investors IQ Capital and Northern Gritstone.
- Quantum ghost imaging works using only sunlight in stunning new experiment
Scientists achieved quantum-linked photon pairs using ordinary sunlight, creating a sun-tracking system to funnel sunlight into a special crystal. This setup generated strongly correlated photons capable of performing ghost imaging. The image quality was close to that of a traditional laser system.
- Scientists just created exotic new forms of matter that shouldn’t exist
Scientists created new forms of matter by changing magnetic fields over time, unlocking exotic quantum states that are more stable and resistant to errors. This breakthrough could impact the future of quantum technology, depending on material manipulation in time. The study reveals new possibilities for quantum computing.
- Oxford physicists achieve first-ever “quadsqueezing” breakthrough in quantum physics
Oxford physicists achieved the first-ever demonstration of quadsqueezing, a fourth-order quantum effect, by combining simple forces to reveal and utilize hidden quantum behaviors. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for quantum technology.
- Meet the Quantum Kid
9-year-old Kai Moskvitch, known as 'The Quantum Kid,' co-hosts a science podcast with his mother, theoretical physicist Katia Moskvitch. The podcast, which focuses on quantum physics and has surpassed 100,000 subscribers, recently received a Webby Award nomination. The duo interviews experts like Peter Shor and Scott Aaronson, leveraging Katia's connections in the quantum physics community.
- Scientists built a quantum battery that breaks the rules of charging
Scientists have created a quantum battery that operates using quantum physics rules, potentially revolutionizing energy storage methods.
