Atomic Memory with Outstanding Parameters for Quantum Information Technologies

Neither quantum computers nor quantum cryptography will become prevalent technologies without memory systems able to manipulate quantum information easily and effectively. The Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw has recently made inroads into popularizing quantum information technologies by creating an atomic memory with outstanding parameters and an extremely simple construction.

CSIRO’s Australia Telescope Compact Array Connects with Korean Radio Telescopes

The current thrust of our tests are to perform mm-VLBI observations with the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) at 43 and 86GHz. The 7900 km baseline (distance) between Australia and Korea provides resolutions of 80 micro-arcseconds at the higher frequency, or 20 billionths of a degree. This is sufficient to resolve Neil Armstrong's footprints on the moon from Earth, an astounding level of detail for a radio telescope.

JQI Researchers Create the Best Quantum Receiver

Researchers try to meet the inexorable demands made on the telecommunications grid by improving various components. In October 2014, for instance, scientists at the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands did their part by setting a new record for transmission down a single optical fiber: 255 terabits per second.

New Theory Result Opens Up Novel Path for Generating Spin Hall Effect

Every electrical device, from a simple lightbulb to the latest microchips, is enabled by the movement of electrical charge, or current. The nascent field of ‘spintronics’ taps into a different electronic attribute, an intrinsic quantum property known as spin, and may yield devices that operate on the basis of spin-transport.
