Qubits’ Entanglement Must be Protected—is the Answer Math?

23 Φεβρουαρίου 2022 by paulkokos

Quantum computers can theoretically find the answers to problems no classical computer could ever solve, but they rely on a delicate state known as entanglement that is vulnerable to disruption from its surroundings. Now scientists reveal that so-called "photonic topological insulators" could help protect entanglement for potential use in quantum…

Researchers have devised a simple technique to recover treasured rare earth elements (REEs) from trash. Heating electronic and industrial waste to intensely hot temperatures with flashes of electricity can extract more than twice the amount of REEs from the material than has been possible with previous techniques.REEs, a group of…

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. When we think about flexibility in bioinspired robots, the best examples can usually be found in soft robots that mimic octopus arms or elephant trunks, which have some very unique capabilities. But most animals…

These Magnetic Whirlpools Could Unlock True Random Numbers

It’s been almost a decade since news items began to appear about something in data storage called skyrmions—tiny, swirling magnetic spin patterns in thin films. These spinning magnetic swirls had been proposed over 60 years ago by British physicist Tony Skyrme—from whom the name derives—but suddenly they seemed a potential…
