  1. Quantum Networking Advances

    Researchers have teleported a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots over a 270-meter open-air link aka the properties of one photon were transferred to another through quantum teleportation.

  2. Behold the Light: Farms, Photons, Futures

    Now that science has seen the light, waves of possibility spread out over farm fields and high-tech labs.

  3. 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.

  4. Weekend reading with TechAptitude!

    Quantum networks hold the potential to enable fundamentally new capabilities, including ultra-secure communication with unbreakable encryption, distributed quantum computing, and hold out the promise of creating a “Quantum Internet”. Check it out!

  5. The latest TechAptitude post explores the highly complex and critical space of Quantum Memory. Quantum Memory performs the delicate balance of storing the quantum state of a photon or other entangled particle without destroying the quantum information of that particle.

  7. Why can’t you make a neutral pion from two photons?

    A neutral pion can decay into two photons. It is therefore not unreasonable to ask the question whether the reverse process – the creation of a neutral pion by colliding two photons – is physically possible and, if not, why not? It is perhaps less reasonable to ask an AI bot these questions. One of my colleagues did just that and found the following three answers to the “why not?” question:

    I particularly like the second one. Would anyone like to offer a correct explanation through the comments box?

    This will/should/maybe/certainly reach far beyond data storage densities and energies. Its *room temperature* quantum manipulation OR magic OR both.

    A team from the University of Konstanz (Germany near Switzerland) has had a bit of a WTF "moment"...

    They snapped some light onto some iron crystals and had a beer fueled lunch I hope.

    "" despite the substantial volume of research concerning the optical activation of any coherent collective excitation (phonons, magnons, plasmons, and polaritons) in solids, neither a modification of the spectrum ... nor a coupling be-
    tween high-momentum and gamma-point modes at fundamental timescales has been reported. """

  12. sooo that means that a #HamRadio shack is an #altar to #photons and we have to be very conscious of the photons we send and how we send them.

  13. 🔍✨ In a groundbreaking revelation, scientists have apparently fashioned a 'supersolid' out of #photons, because who doesn't want to play God with light particles now? 🤔 Subscribe to our newsletter for more jargon and a shopping list of expensive toys you’ll never afford! 💸📸

  14. The smallest-ever force field map of nature.

    Physicists have mapped the forces acting inside a #proton, showing in unprecedented detail how #quarks—the tiny #particles within—respond when hit by high-energy #photons.

    The new result breaks down #space and #time into a fine grid, allowing simulating how the strong force—the fundamental interaction that binds quarks into #protons and #neutrons—varies across different regions inside the proton.

    Evidence of ‘Negative Time’ Found in #QuantumPhysics Experiment

    Physicists showed that #photons can seem to exit a material before entering it, revealing observational evidence of #negativetime.

    …"by the team’s experiments, these values can encompass instances when an individual #photon’s transit time is instantaneous—or, bizarrely, when it concludes before the #atomic excitation has ceased, which gives a negative value"…

  16. "We illustrate the potential of these concepts by fabricating #nanostructures that are impossible to make with any other known method: #waveguide-coupled high-Q silicon photonic cavities that confine telecom #photons to 2 nm air gaps with an aspect ratio of 100, corresponding to mode volumes more than 100 times below the #diffraction limit. Scanning transmission electron microscopy measurements confirm the ability to build devices with sub-nanometre dimensions."
