Revolutionary technology is breaking out of the lab. The British government has announced that it is deploying a top-secret quantum clock, developed by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), across the military over the next five years.Continue ReadingCategory: Military, TechnologyTags: U.K. Ministry of Defence, Quantum Physics
In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is true and not true.Continue ReadingCategory: Quantum Computing, ScienceTags: Hack, Quantum Information, China, Encryption
Britain has scored a world-first with a series of test flights to demonstrate the core technologies of a future quantum navigation system that's designed to foil one of the most potentially dangerous, yet not very widely publicized, threats that transportation faces: GPS jamming and spoofing.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: GPS, QinetiQ, Quantum Mechanics
As anyone who's ever seen a science fiction movie knows, whipping up a black hole in a laboratory doesn't seem like such a good idea.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Space exploration, Black hole, Quantum Physics, Helium, University of Nottingham, King's College London, Newcastle University, Superfluid
One of the most promising, emerging solar cell technologies has received a major efficiency boost. Engineers at UNIST in South Korea have created quantum dot solar cells with a world record efficiency of 18.1%.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Quantum Dot, Quantum Dot Solar Cells, Solar Cell, UNIST, Solar Power
Causality is key to our experience of reality: dropping a glass, for example, causes it to smash, so it can’t smash before it’s dropped. But in the quantum world those rules don’t necessarily apply, and scientists have now demonstrated how that weirdness can be harnessed to charge a quantum battery.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Physics, Quantum Physics, Quantum, Quantum Mechanics
High-end hi-fi brand Leema Acoustics has unveiled its first new audiophile offerings for more than a decade, with the Quantum range essentially repackaging the company's flagship Constellation series in a more affordable – relatively speaking – form factor.Continue ReadingCategory: Home Entertainment, TechnologyTags: Audiophile, Hi-fi, Amplifiers, Luxury
A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and importantly, outlines a way to test it experimentally.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Gravity, Quantum Gravity, Albert Einstein, University College London, relativity, Quantum, Quantu
Gravitational wave facilities measure distortions in the fabric of spacetime down to 10 quadrillionths the width of a hair – small enough to hear interference from particles popping in and out of existence. Now the LIGO facility has pushed beyond this quantum limit by “squeezing” laser light, which will boost gravitational wave detections by about 60%.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTag
Random numbers are critical to encryption algorithms, but they're nigh-on impossible for computers to generate. Now, Swedish researchers say they've created a new, super-secure quantum random number generator using cheap perovskite LEDs.Continue ReadingCategory: Quantum Computing, ScienceTags: Perovskite, Linkoping University, Cybersecurity, Cryptography, Encryption
