One particle of light is enough to start photosynthesis – knowledge
How photosynthesis works should be familiar to many from their school days: carbon dioxide and water are turned into oxygen and sugar in plants with the help of sunlight, according…
Quantum computers: is the technology finally applicable? – Knowledge
SZ: Mr. Polian, a team from IBM has now had the Eagle quantum computer simulate how 127 bar magnets influence each other. Is that supposed to be useful? Ilia Polian:…
Has China overtaken the US in science? – Knowledge
Just as the USA still dominates the financial markets thanks to the dollar, it was also the case in science for decades. Regardless of whether you take the number of…
Quantum computers: all just hype?
Quantum computers are supposed to solve questions that normal computers fail to solve. But the technology is far from as advanced as hoped. Of trying to calm a hype. source…
What the wormhole in the quantum computer is all about – knowledge
Did a real wormhole show up in a quantum computer a few months ago? That depends on what you mean by “real”: Physicists are still divided as to what the…
Garching: Research on the smallest units – district of Munich
Meter-high cranes and large machines are currently in use in Garching to create the environment for working on the smallest particles: The Technical University of Munich (TU) and the Bavarian…
Nobel Prize in Physics: The spook is real
Physics Nobel laureates Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect have shown that the world really is as strange as quantum physics describes it – while laying the foundation for…
Technology: How a quantum computer trumped a supercomputer
A quantum optical processor solves an extremely complex problem in a few millionths of a second. The second fastest supercomputer in the world would have needed 9000 years for this.…
