MIT researchers demonstrated that creating a quantum physics-based sensor that could detect the SARS virus using mathematical simulations is possible. Credit: Edited by MIT News. Quantum Physics Sensor Could detect…
A tiny photonic chip gives precision optics an extra boost.
Interferometers combine two or more sources of light to create interference patterns. These patterns can give remarkably detailed information about everything they illuminate. This includes a small flaw in a mirror…
Science made simple: What is Exascale Computing?
The next milestone in the evolution of supercomputers is exascale computing. Exascale computers can process information faster than the most powerful supercomputers today. This will allow scientists to address some…
Twist: MIT’s New Programming Language for Quantum Computing
Quantum computing. Quantum computing uses qubits, which encode information in zeros, ones or both, unlike traditional computers that use bits. These refrigerator-sized computers can process large amounts of information thanks…
Atomic Armor, Electron-Beam Accelerators and Atomic Armor for Next-Generation
Accelerator electron source lifetimes are extended by single-atom layer graphene coated. Protective coatings are used for many everyday items that are frequently used. We coat wood floors with finish, paint…
Hybrid Algorithms make small, noisy quantum computers possible.
Hybrid algorithms can accommodate limited qubits and provide error correction for real-world tasks. According to an article in Nature Reviews Physics, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and other top institutions, have created…
