Researchers Demonstrate Generation of Multiphoton Entangled Qubit States on Optical Chip

The optical chip developed at INRS by Prof. Roberto Morandotti’s team overcomes a number of obstacles in the development of quantum computers, which are expected to revolutionize information processing. The international research team has demonstrated that on-chip quantum frequency combs can be used to simultaneously generate multiphoton entangled quantum bit (qubit) states.

Niels Bohr Institute Researchers Demonstrate Key Property of Majorana Zero Modes

Quantum technology has the potential to revolutionize computation, cryptography, and simulation of quantum systems. However, quantum physics places a new demand on information processing hardware: quantum states are fragile, and so must be controlled without being measured.

HTCondor Software Plays Key Role in LIGO’s Detection of Gravitational Waves

A few years ago, a team of international scientists parlayed many years of research into the discovery of the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle, thought to be a building block of our universe. The analysis of data collected from several particle collisions was aided by HTCondor, a software program.

First Prototype Fusion Reactor Could Help Produce Clean, Sustainable Energy for Power Grids

Occupying a nondescript building on the outskirts of suburban Orange County that looks more like a warehouse than a superhero’s lair, a team of scientists and engineers believe they’re on a path to saving the planet. They work for Tri Alpha Energy, a company with deep connections to the University of California, Irvine, and their research facility houses an experimental fusion reactor that may be the most viable avenue yet toward producing clean, abundant and sustainable energy for the world’s power grids.

Researchers Use Coupled Model to Predict Electron Heat Losses in Fusion Reactors

Cutting-edge simulations run at NERSC over a two-year period are helping physicists better understand what influences the behavior of the plasma turbulence that is driven by the intense heating necessary to create fusion energy. This research has yielded exciting answers to long-standing questions about plasma heat loss that have previously stymied efforts to predict the performance of fusion reactors and could help pave the way for this alternative energy source.

New Experimental Results Allow for Clear Discrimination of Theories of High-Temperature Superconductivity

Superconductivity – a quantum phenomenon in which metals below a certain temperature develop flow of current with no loss or resistance – is one of the most exciting problems in physics, which has resulted in investments worldwide of enormous brain power and resources since its discovery a little over a century ago.

Astronomers Measure the Farthest Galaxy Ever Seen in the Universe

By pushing NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to its limits, an international team of astronomers has shattered the cosmic distance record by measuring the farthest galaxy ever seen in the universe. This surprisingly bright infant galaxy, named GN-z11, is seen as it was 13.4 billion years in the past, just 400 million years after the Big Bang. GN-z11 is located in the direction of the constellation of Ursa Major.

New Study Radically Changes Perception of Surface of Mars

The surface of the planet Mars tilted by 20 to 25 degrees 3 to 3.5 billion years ago. This was caused by a massive volcanic structure, the Tharsis volcanic dome1, which is the largest in the Solar System. Because of its extraordinary mass, it caused the outer layers of Mars (its crust and mantle) to rotate around its core.
