AZoQuantum speaks with Jennifer Burt, Jennifer is part of an international team of astronomers that have discovered an exoplanet, known as TOI-1231 b. The exoplanet is a roughly Neptune-sized planet that has been determined as having a cool atmosphere, which completes an orbit of its parent star in just 24 days.

The Zurich Instruments SHFSG Signal Generator can be used to generate freely programmable pulse sequences, specifically designed for controlling superconducting and spin qubits
The key to establishing ever more powerful quantum computers, such as Google’s Sycamore, lies in understanding entanglement. New research shows that this phenomenon, once described as ‘spooky action at a distance’ by Einstein, is not a factor of contact, but of identity.

Quantum physics and transmission electron microscopy allow investigation of materials much smaller than optical microscopes.
Atomic absorption is the process by which particles of matter (atoms) absorb energy. With 20th century advances in the field of physics, this process can be understood according to the peculiar laws of quantum mechanics.
