In the quest to build a quantum internet, scientists are putting their memories to the test. Quantum memories, that is.
Quantum memories are devices that store fragile information in the realm of the very small. They’re an essential component for scientists’ vision of quantum networks that could allow new types of communication, from ultra-secure messaging to linking up far-flung quantum computers (SN: 6/28/23). Such memories would help scientists establish quantum connections, or entanglement, throughout a network (SN:
It can be tough to face our own mortality. Keeping diaries, posting to social media, and taking photos are all tools that can help to minimize the discomfort that comes with realizing we have limited time on Earth. But how exactly does documenting our lives impact how we live and remember them?
In this episode, diarist and author Sarah Manguso reflects on the benefits and limitations of keeping track of time, and Charan Ranganath, a professor of psychology and researcher
The Princess of Wales has urged people to ‘hold onto and cherish’ their ‘wonderful’ memories of the late Queen Elizabeth II on the first anniversary of her death.
Kate wore earrings that once belonged to the Queen today as she attended a private service at St Davids Cathedral in Pembrokeshire with her husband Prince William.
The couple travelled by helicopter for the short service, which saw Kate poignantly placed a floral tribute of white roses in front of a framed
In this engrossing French drama, writer-director Alice Winocour stages a Bataclan-style terrorist attack in a Paris cafe from the perspective of translator and journalist Mia (an excellent Virginie Efira).
She sees the welcoming lights and stops to take shelter from a storm while riding home on her motorcycle. She’s sipping wine and people-watching when she hears the first gunshot.
As bodies fall, she hides under a table and begins to crawl along the floor. Then the screen goes black.

Eagles co-founding member Randy Meisner is being remembered by former bandmates after he died at the age of 77 Wednesday.
The Eagles said on their official Facebook page Meisner died from complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
“Randy was an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band. His vocal range was astonishing, as is evident on his signature ballad, ‘Take It to the Limit,’” the band said in a post.

Das Leben des verstorbenen kolumbianischen Arztes, Professors und Menschenrechtsverteidigers Héctor Abad Gómez war sicherlich einzigartig genug, um in gedruckter Form festgehalten zu werden, und zwar „Oblivion. A Memoir“ von Gómez’ Sohn Héctor Abad Faciolince wurde ein preisgekrönter Bestseller.
Aber einen Film auf der Grundlage dieses Buches zu machen, ist eine andere Sache, und das Ergebnis, „Memories of My Father“, könnte von einem weitaus teleskopischeren, erzählerischeren Ansatz profitiert haben, als der Drehbuchautor David Trueba und sein Bruder, der Regisseur Fernando Trueba
In early April, when my flight arrived at Ferenc Liszt International Airport, László Borsos was waiting for me at the arrivals gate. I hadn’t seen the man in 28 years. I scanned the crowd and found him standing there with a wild grin on his face, his glasses dangling elegantly over a white collared shirt.
After a quick hug, and with a wave of his hand, he gestured for me to hurry along; he was parked just beyond the sliding

Die fünf Geschichten in Banana Yoshimotos Sammlung „Dead-End Memories“ – erstmals 2003 in Japan veröffentlicht, es ist ihr 11. Buch, das ins Englische übersetzt wird – sind seltsam, melancholisch und wunderschön. Im Zentrum von jedem steht eine Frau, die die stillen Folgen der persönlichen Geschichte verhandelt.
In „House of Ghosts“ begegnet eine junge Frau in der bald abgerissenen Wohnung ihres neuen Liebhabers den Geistern eines älteren Ehepaars. Die Geister gehen ihrem
Es ist nicht leicht, sein Herz auszuschütten, aber Jamie Miller tat genau das, nachdem ich vor nicht allzu langer Zeit Herzschmerz erlebt hatte.
Ich bin am stolzesten auf „It Is What It Is“, weil ich letztes Jahr eine ziemlich harte Zeit mit einer Beziehung durchgemacht habe und ich nicht dachte, dass ich Licht am Ende des Tunnels sehen würde – aber es kam und ich die schweren Zeiten überstanden. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass es eine großartige Trennungshymne ist!”, erzählt
