According to a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, scientists used powerful supercomputer simulations to investigate the interior structure of a new celestial object called remnants and the cooling process, which is predominantly driven by neutrino emissions.
Neutrinos can change their identities or "flavors" when they interact. Researchers recently found that the neutrinos in a very dense environment such as a core collapse supernova can develop strong correlations through mutual interactions. This means that over time, neutrinos with different initial flavors reach a similar equilibrium flavor and energy distribution.
Imagine the possibility of sending messages that are completely impervious to even the most powerful computers. This is the incredible promise of quantum communication, which harnesses the unique properties of light particles known as photons.
Terra Quantum, a leading quantum computing company, today announced a significant new initiative to study the feasibility of developing a quantum-resistant network for the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF).
A paper recently published in the journal Scientific Reports has proposed the use of machine learning for cross-architecture tuning of silicon-germanium (SiGe) and silicon (Si)-based devices.

An interdisciplinary team of scholars have received a $2.43 million dollar grant from the John Templeton Foundation to create a “Southern California Quantum Foundations Hub” at Chapman University.
A study in Nature Communications introduces a novel approach for preserving plasmon-exciton polariton states using quantum nanoplasmonic coherent perfect absorption (CPA). This method selectively prepares and sustains hybrid light-matter states, unlocking new possibilities for quantum technologies without requiring cryogenic cooling.

The Chicago-based Duality quantum accelerator has accepted its fourth cohort of startups into its program as the quantum revolution arrives in Illinois.
Researchers have discovered in a study published in Physical Review D that neutrinos in a particularly dense environment can form significant correlations (or quantum entanglement) through mutual interactions.
A study published in the Journal of Systems and Software proposes a hybrid quantum-classical architecture using quantum machine learning (QML) and security information and event management (SIEM) to enhance smart city security. By integrating IBM QRadar and QBoost, the system efficiently detects cyberattacks, reducing training and prediction times significantly compared to classical AI models.

Today, The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign joined other partners from around the state in officially announcing its leadership role in the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park.
Researchers in International Journal of Molecular Sciences explored the use of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) combined with blue light as an antibacterial treatment against E. coli. The study demonstrated that functionalized GQDs, when irradiated with blue light, effectively reduced bacterial count by generating reactive oxygen species
