Never-Repeating Patterns of Tiles Can Safeguard Quantum Information

This extreme fragility might make quantum computing sound hopeless. But in 1995, the applied mathematician Peter Shor discovered a clever way to store quantum information. His encoding had two key properties. First, it could tolerate errors that only affected individual qubits. Second, it came with a procedure for correcting errors as they occurred, preventing them […]

I finally played Control (Quantum Wake/ Alan Break?) and it was an epic adventure

I am late to the Alan Wake series. My first experience was with Alan Wake Remastered, and I played that last year. I followed up with Alan Wake: American Nightmare from the Xbox 360 shortly before Alan Wake 2 was released, but I made an executive decision that has prevented me from playing through what […]

The Quest to Use Quantum Mechanics to Pull Energy out of Nothing

Hotta found, to his surprise, that a simple sequence of events could, in fact, induce the quantum vacuum to go negative—giving up energy it didn’t appear to have. “First I thought I was wrong,” he said, “so I calculated again, and I checked my logic. But I could not find any flaw.” The trouble arises […]

JBL Quantum 100P review

It seems a perennial truth that no matter how many gaming headsets we have, a new year always brings new platform-specific renditions of familiar models and form factors. In that light, the JBL Quantum 100P tells you a lot with just its name—it’s a P-for-PlayStation themed model of one the most basic gaming headsets JBL […]

Researchers Argue Black Holes Will Destroy All Quantum States

Intriguingly, this kind of decoherence will occur anywhere there is a horizon that only allows information to travel in one direction, creating the potential for causality paradoxes. The edge of the known universe, called the cosmological horizon, is another example. Or consider the “Rindler horizon,” which forms behind an observer who continuously accelerates and approaches […]

Quantum Break disappearing from Xbox Game Pass is a complicated licensing issue

What you need to know Quantum Break is a 2016 game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios.  A recent listing in the Xbox Game Pass home tab showed that Quantum Break was leaving Xbox Game Pass.  Microsoft has confirmed that Quantum Break should return to the service after resolving licensing issues.

How Quantum Physicists ‘Flipped Time’ (and Didn’t)

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered circuits, the photons act as if time were flowing in a quantum combination of forward and backward. “For the first time ever, we kind of have a […]

Quantum Computing Has a Noise Problem

Quantum computers have a huge problem. Or, to be more accurate, lots of incredibly tiny ones. These futuristic devices promise to revolutionize everything from the financial industry to drug discovery by tapping into the power of quantum uncertainty—instead of using bits like your laptop or phone does, quantum computers use qubits, which means they’ll be […]

Physicists Rewrite a Quantum Rule That Clashes With Our Universe

“There are some configurations of the future that don’t correspond to anything in the past,” Cotler said. “There’s nothing in the past that would evolve into them.” Giddings has proposed a similar principle for ruling out paradoxical states he encountered while studying black holes last year. He calls it “history matters,” and it holds that […]

Three-Way Entanglement Results Hint at Better Quantum Codes

Last month, three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work proving one of the most counterintuitive yet consequential realities of the quantum world. They showed that two entangled quantum particles must be considered a single system—their states inexorably intertwined with each other—even if the particles are separated by great distances. In practice, […]

Quantum Advantage Showdowns Have No Clear Winners

Last month, physicists at Toronto-based startup Xanadu published a curious experiment in Nature in which they generated seemingly random numbers. During the pandemic, they built a tabletop machine named Borealis, consisting of lasers, mirrors, and over a kilometer of optical fiber. Within Borealis, 216 beams of infrared light bounced around through a complicated network of […]

Researchers Made Ultracold Quantum Bubbles on the Space Station

In March 2018, researchers launched what looks like a white, cooler-sized fridge to the International Space Station. That heavy box houses a $100 million facility known as the Cold Atom Laboratory, which enables an array of atomic physics experiments to be done at freezing temperatures in the zero-g of space. With those unique conditions, scientists […]
