2+ hour, 8+ min ago  (885+ words) A single-celled organism provides an excellent metaphor for what quantum mechanics says about the world. Robert P Crease and Gino Elia explain Quantum mechanics is so full of strange phenomena that it's not surprising that physicists have had to dream…...

3+ day, 5+ hour ago  (448+ words) As the food physics group of the Institute of Physics notches up 10 years of engagement between academia and industry, Joe Mc Entee explores how food physicists are delivering a more sustainable food system while helping manufacturers to reduce costs Food…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago  (236+ words) The researchers chose to explore states that are physically relevant across different areas of quantum physics, allowing them to probe entanglement patterns relevant to quantum simulation, communication and computation. In this sense, the system expands the experimental toolbox available to…...

4+ day, 14+ min ago  (208+ words) It would be nice if we could accomplish this with gates that act independently on each physical qubit, as this would prevent errors from spreading between qubits. Unfortunately, a fundamental theorem called the Eastin-Knill theorem states that no single error-correcting…...

4+ day, 10+ hour ago  (278+ words) Using this model, the KIT team isolated approximately 510 000 chemical formulae and 3 600 000 concepts from the 221 000 abstracts in their database " an average of 2. 3 chemical formulae and 16. 3 concepts per abstract. After removing duplicates, these numbers dropped to around 52 000 unique formulae and 1 241 000 unique concepts....
