Researchers Build Cosmic Ray Detector for the Large Hadron Collider

Scientists have a special interest in understanding the origin of life and one of the major projects to achieve this is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Built by a range of researchers of different nationalities, it also has the support of Mexico, as a multidisciplinary team created ACORDE, the first Mexican cosmic ray detector.

Gigantic Flare Observed on Surface of Famous Red Giant Star

Super-sharp observations with the telescope Alma have revealed what seems to be a gigantic flare on the surface of Mira, one of the closest and most famous red giant stars in the sky. Activity like this in red giants - similar to what we see in the Sun - comes as a surprise to astronomers. The discovery could help explain how winds from giant stars make their contribution to our galaxy's ecosystem.

More Protons Than Neutrons Have High Momentum in Relatively Neutron-Rich Nuclei

Like dancers swirling on the dance floor with bystanders looking on, protons and neutrons that have briefly paired up inside an atom’s nucleus have a higher-than-average momentum, leaving less energy for non-paired nucleons.

Different Parity Check Gates Enable Efficient N-Particle W State Concentration

Entanglement is an important quantum resource in both quantum communication and computation. The applications of entanglement information processing such as quantum teleportation, quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum dense coding, quantum secret sharing (QSS), and quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) all resort the entanglement to set up the quantum channel between long distant locations.

Quantum Process Tomography Helps Characterize Unknown Quantum Processes

Scientists and engineers from the University of Bristol, UK, and the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore have published work in the June issue of Optica. They demonstrate a new protocol for estimating unknown optical processes, called unitary operations, with precision enhanced by the unique properties of quantum mechanics. This could lead to both dramatically better sensors for medical research and new approaches to benchmark the performance ultra-powerful quantum computers.
