Public Release: 13-Sep-2017 Eindhoven University of Technology The era of fully fledged quantum computers threatens to destroy internet security as we know it. Researchers are in a race against time to prepare new cryptographic techniques before the arrival of quantum computers, as cryptographers Tanja Lange (Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands) and Daniel J.…

Public Release: 30-Aug-2017 Researchers propose how the universe became filled with light University of Iowa Soon after the Big Bang, the universe went completely dark. The intense, seminal event that created the cosmos churned up so much hot, thick gas that light was completely trapped. Much later–perhaps as many as one billion years after…
Public Release: 8-Jun-2017 DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Caption A team of researchers, including several physicists from the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, discovered that a molecule containing a large atom could act like a molecular ‘black hole’ when exposed to ultrafast laser pulses, sucking in electrons from nearby lighter atoms.

Public Release: 30-Jan-2017 University of Waterloo The first observational evidence that the universe could be a hologram has been published in the journal Physical Review Letters. The international study may lead to new beliefs on the Big Bang Theory and on quantum gravity, one of theoretical physics’ most profound problems. Researchers from the University…
Public Release: 8-Sep-2016 New chip could bring highest level of encryption to any mobile device The Optical Society Caption Using photonic integrated circuit technology, researchers made a tiny, yet fast quantum random number generator. The small chip in the middle of the picture contains two of the random number generators, which together measure…
Public Release: 17-Aug-2016 How we escaped from the Big Bang Griffith’s theory on moving through time Griffith University Associate Professor Dr Joan Vaccaro, of Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, has solved an anomaly of conventional physics and shown that a mysterious effect called ‘T violation’ could be the origin of time evolution and conservation laws.…
Public Release: 19-Jul-2016 Massachusetts Institute of Technology CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — In the world of quantum, infinitesimally small particles, weird and often logic-defying behaviors abound. Perhaps the strangest of these is the idea of superposition, in which objects can exist simultaneously in two or more seemingly counterintuitive states. For example, according to the laws of…
PUBLIC RELEASE: 26-MAY-2016 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE Through new experiments involving the famous Schrödinger cat state paradox, researchers have shown that a “quantum cat” can be both alive and dead, and in two places at once. The results, which involve inducing a large number of photons to have matching states (or…
Public Release: 20-May-2016 Researchers develop the first available software to evaluate the security of any protocol for Quantum Key Distribution University of Waterloo What once took months by some of the world’s leading scientists can now be done in seconds by undergraduate students thanks to software developed at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for…
Public Release: 13-Apr-2016 Today, people of all backgrounds can contribute to solving serious scientific problems by playing computer games. A Danish research group has extended the limits of quantum physics calculations and simultaneously blurred the boundaries between man and mac Aarhus University The saying of philosopher René Descartes of what makes humans unique is…
Public Release: 18-Feb-2016 University of Cambridge Researchers have shown how a bizarrely shaped black hole could cause Einstein’s general theory of relativity, a foundation of modern physics, to break down. However, such an object could only exist in a universe with five or more dimensions. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and Queen…
Public Release: 19-Jan-2016 Aalto University IMAGE: Visualization of the structure of the created quantum knot. Each colorful band represents a set of nearby directions of the quantum field that is knotted. Note that each band is twisted and linked with the others once. Untying the knot requires the bands to separate, which is not…
“They found that energy-time entanglement – the method that today forms the basis for many systems of quantum cryptography – is vulnerable to attack.” Public Release: 18-Dec-2015 Hacking the Bell Test using classical light in energy-time entanglement-based quantum key distribution Linköping University Quantum cryptography is considered a fully secure encryption method, but researchers from…
Public Release: 27-Apr-2015 Describing the universe requires fewer dimensions than we might think; new calculations show that this may not just be a mathematical trick, but a fundamental feature of space itself Vienna University of Technology IMAGE: Is our universe a hologram?
