Minimizing the Reality Gap in Quantum Devices with Machine Learning

A major obstacle facing quantum devices has been solved by a University of Oxford study that leveraged machine learning capabilities. The results show how to bridge the “reality gap,” or the discrepancy between expected and observed behavior from quantum devices, for the first time. Physical Review X has published the findings.

Physicists Find Evidence of Elusive Sterile Neutrino in Gallium Experiment

Scientists have confirmed possible evidence of a new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino. These particles, if they exist, interact only via gravity, not any of the other forces in the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Mysterious Methane Glow on Cold Brown Dwarf

Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found a brown dwarf (an object more massive than Jupiter but smaller than a star) with infrared emission from methane, likely due to energy in its upper atmosphere.

Unraveling the Secrets of Shared Quantum Entanglement

In partnership with String Theorist Robert de Mello Koch of Huzhou University in China (formerly from Wits University), researchers from the Structured Light Laboratory (School of Physics) at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, under the direction of Professor Andrew Forbes, have shown for the first time that it is possible to perturb pairs of spatially separated yet interconnected quantum entangled particles without changing particles shared properties.
