  1. NIST and University of Colorado researchers demonstrated over 99% effectiveness in transmitting photons over a 2 km link of standard optical fiber. The team successfully separated the signals needed for fiber stabilization, trillions of photons per second, from the single photons carrying quantum information, overcoming a significant technical hurdle.

    Net-net the experiment illustrated strong separation between the classical light signals and the quantum signals transversing fiber optic cables dramatically reducing sources of error and noise for optic based quantum systems.

  2. Canadian start up Xanadu (founded in 2016) went IPO via SPAC (Mar 27) on the Nasdaq and TSX stock exchanges under the ticker symbol "XNDU".

    Xanadu is building photonics-based quantum computing systems and claims its approach can leverage existing modern chip manufacturing facilities and optical components like fibre optics. xanadu.ai/press/xanadu-becomes #Quantum #QuantumComputing #Xanadu #TSX #NASDAQ #IPO #Photonics #SPAC #Optics #FibreOptics

    [broadly, a 'seismic' listening technique could help researchers map water movement, moisture levels in soil, with these researchers at Caltech have figured out a way to use vibrations from passing cars to see how much water sits directly beneath the ground’s surface…]

  4. Massive spike in #WiFi interfaces in area. The number of them has doubled, and from a terribly high base.

    Can we do anything to divert these #electroMagneticFrequencies? Magnets?

    We may be willing to jam signals — just to tell the council/neighbours to start using a damned #ethernetCable.
