Google’s Quantum Computer Is About 158 Million Times Faster Than the World’s Fastest SupercomputerVulnerable chip is strongly cooled Google’s quantum computer, Sycamore, and IBM’s, IBM Q System One, also process data using microchips. In 200 seconds, the machine performed a mathematically designed calculation so complex that it would take the…

Greek Astronomer Confirms Einstein with his Black Hole StudyThe first image of a black hole, captured in 2019 by the team of Greek astronomer Dimitrios Psaltis, has revealed more support for Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. “We expect a complete theory of gravity to be different from general relativity,…
New study highlights importance of context in physical theoriesIn his study Contextuality of General Probabilistic Theories Dr Shahandeh examines which structural property of a theory like quantum mechanics makes it subject to contextuality. He said: “In this work we determine the geometric features that give rise to non-contextuality or contextuality…
SC State Partners With IBM’s Quantum Computing ProgramWhen the opportunity to team up with IBM was brought to his attention, Clark thought, “If you don’t make dust, you eat dust.” Clark, who studied computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the partnership with IBM amounts to over $2…
The meaning withoutFor living, he reads, listens to music, travels, treks the Himalayas, cycles city roads, and drinks coffee. Einstein and Neils Bohr, his lifelong friend, and a founding father of Quantum physics, used to argue incessantly about the uncertainty engrained in the subatomic world. Thus, we not only find…
New study highlights importance of context to physical theoriesIn doing so, we consider the framework of general probabilistic theories, a unified tool that comes very handy for constructing generic physical theories.” ” In his study Contextuality of General Probabilistic Theories Dr Shahandeh examines what structural property of a theory like…
Can god be disproved using the laws of physics? An expert explains how it depends on perspectiveIf you do not believe in god, then the question is equally nonsensical, because there is not a god and nothing can travel faster than light. But when the light “set off”, the galaxy…
The hunt for the quantum collapse“Superpositions are quite common in quantum mechanics,” says Oosterkamp, ‘but in the macroscopic world in which we live, you never see them. In quantum mechanics, the physics of the smallest bits of matter, this moment of choosing is called the collapse of the wave. According…
Hong Kong: political turmoil provokes difficult decisions about whether to leaveSo in principle, it will allow up to 5.4 million Hong Kong residents to come to the UK to work, to live, to study, and become British citizens. So if you’re thinking about doubling the search rate, you might be…
