Seeing that some of the particles created in high-energy colliders live for really short times, so much that often it is hard to observe them directly, physicists look at the expected way particles decay. How do we predict that a hypothesized particle would decay in a particular way without ...
Asscience-fictionconcepts go,time travelis one of the most captivating. It's hard not to wonder what it would be like to zip back into history to witness a Roman battle in action, or to breathe air that hadn't been touched by constantly burning fossil fuels. It's perhaps even more int...
As a citizen of sunny Earth, it's hard not to take light for granted. In this article, we salute you, light, for a lightless world would be a gloomy place indeed. Frank Krahmer/Getty Images Light is at once both obvious and mysterious. We are bathed in yellow warmth every day ...
Mobius Strips: So Simple to Create, So Hard to Fathom By: Trevor English | Updated: Feb 27, 2024 Möbius strips are both simple and mystifying at the same time. Dimitri Otis/Getty Images The mathematics of otherwise simple-looking objects can be surprisingly perplexing. There's likely ...
a qubit is the basic unit of information in a quantum computer. Quantum computers use particles such aselectronsor photons that are given either a charge or polarization to act as a 0, 1 or both a 0 and 1. The two most relevant aspects of quantum physics are the principles ofsuperposition...
Carl Kocher demystifies quantum entanglement through experimental evidence, challenging classical physics and enriching our understanding of quantum paradoxes. Quantum entanglement may be hard to get your head around, but it’s believed to be the key to future technological applications in quantum informat...
In a brushless DC motor (used in such things as hard- and floppy-disk drives), you need to be able to sense exactly where the motor is positioned at any time. A Hall-effect sensor stationed near the rotor (rotating part of the motor) will be able to detect its orientation very ...
“The experiments we did in this work can be used to characterize or benchmark larger-scale quantum systems, and we may also learn something more about the nature of entanglement in these many-body systems,” says Karamlou. Reference: “Probing entanglement in a 2D hard-core Bose–Hubbard la...
How Hard Is It to Build a Quantum Computer? Building a quantum computer takes a long time and is vastly expensive. Google has been working on building a quantum computer for years and has spent billions of dollars. It expects to have its quantum computer ready by 2029.11In November 2022, ...
