Peeking into Schrodinger's box: Direct measurement shows potential for quantum information

Until recently measuring a 27-dimensional quantum state would have been a time-consuming, multistage process using a technique called quantum tomography, which is similar to creating a 3D image from many 2D ones. Researchers ...

Supercomputing the transition from ordinary to extraordinary forms of matter

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº) —To get a better understanding of the subatomic soup that filled the early universe, and how it "froze out" to form the atoms of today's world, scientists are taking a closer look at the nuclear phase diagram. ...

CNT wrap-gate transistors could extend transistor performance scaling

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº) —Throughout the '70s, '80s and '90s, transistor performance continually increased according to some simple scaling rules. These rules postulate that transistor size and supply voltage should decrease as power ...

Uncertainty revisited: Novel tradeoffs in quantum measurement

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº) —There is, so to speak, uncertainty about uncertainty – that is, over the interpretation of how Heisenberg's uncertainty principle describes the extent of disturbance to one observable when measuring another. ...

On a clear day: Noise-induced quantum coherence increases photosynthetic yield

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—The presence of quantum coherence in photosynthesis in plants, bacteria and marine algae at ambient temperatures is well-established. Two such effects that appeared to be unrelated – enhanced solar cell efficiency ...
