UArizona Engineers Demonstrate a Quantum Advantage In a new paper, researchers in the College of Engineering and James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences experimentally demonstrate how quantum resources arent just dreams for the distant future – they can improve the technology of today. By Emily Dieckman, College of Engineering Today Quantum computing and quantum sensing have the potential to be vastly more powerful than their classical counterparts. Not only could a fully realiz...

Select items from the office of the late and eminent theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking will go on display at the Science Museum in London next year. The announcement comes following an acceptance in lieu agreement, which allows families to offset tax, between the Cambridge University Library, the Science Museum Group and the UK Government. Thanks to this, Professor Hawkings considerable collection of scientific and personal papers will remain in Cambridge in the collections of the universit...

By George Nott2021-05-21T13:39:00+01:00 From delivery routes to world hunger, can cutting-edge quantum technology help solve the biggest challenges in food and drink? Spooky action at a distance” is how Albert Einstein described quantum entanglement, one of the strange phenomena of particle physics that, years after his assessment, is now forming the basis for an entirely new form of computing. It’s a far more complex iteration of the computers we use today, which represent information in b...

17 Mar 2021 Two professors are calling for abolishing the physics term “quantum supremacy” because it is “uncomfortably reminiscent of ‘white supremacy.” In an op-ed, titled, “Physicists Need to Be More Careful with How They Name Things” for the  Scientific American, St. Anselm College physics professor Ian Durham, University of Bristol math professor Karoline Wiesner, and freelance journalist Daniel Garisto call for doing away with the physics term “quantum supremacy” in ...
