Evaluating a New Type of Optical Atomic Clock

In the cosmos, highly charged ions are a usual form of matter. They can be found, for instance, in the sun and other stars. They are termed so because they have lost a lot of electrons and have a lot of positive charges.

Finland Opens Quantum Computer for Research Purposes – the Fusion of Quantum Computing and Supercomputing Enables Completely New Science

VTT’s quantum computer HELMI (“Pearl”) has been connected with the pan-European supercomputer LUMI (“Snow”), hosted by CSC - IT Center for Science. The connection to Europe’s most powerful classical supercomputer enables the best possible use of the quantum computer’s computing power. This is the first time in Europe that this kind of hybrid service connecting a supercomputer and a general-purpose quantum computer is opened for researchers.

Researchers Capture Rare ‘Light Echo’ From Star Explosion

When a star bursts (a supernova), it transmits its strong eruption of light in various directions. On exceptional occasions, ‘light echoes’ or rings of light disperse from the initial supernova location in the months and years that follow, as illustrated recently in an article published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters.
