Physicists capture the sound of a “perfect” fluid

[ad_1] For some, the sound of a “perfect stream” might be the gentle lapping of a forest stream or perhaps the tinkling of water being poured from a pitcher. For physicists, a perfect flow is more specific, referring to a fluid that flows with the least amount of friction, or …

Is the blockchain vulnerable to quantum computer hacking?

[ad_2][ad_1] There is a lingering fear among cryptocurrency investors that their bitcoin could be run over by a hacker. It’s not very likely, but it’s not impossible either, especially once quantum computing gets into the wrong hands. Last year Google’s quantum computer called Sycamore was given a puzzle that would …

Quantum tunneling pushes the limits of self-powered sensors

[ad_1] Shantanu Chakrabartty’s laboratory has worked to create sensors that can operate with the least amount of energy. His lab has been so successful in building smaller, more efficient sensors, that they have encountered an obstacle in the form of a fundamental law of physics. Sometimes, however, when you encounter …

The combination of electronic and photonic chips enables a new record in super fast quantum light detection

[ad_1] The integrated detector combines a silicon photonic chip with a silicon microelectronic chip, delivering an advanced speed in quantum light detection. Bristol researchers have developed a tiny device that paves the way for higher-performance quantum computers and quantum communications, making them significantly faster than the current state of the …
