Why quantum technology may hold the key to alternative energy – Observer Research Foundation
With conventional energy sources like fossil fuels depleting fast, not to mention their adverse effects on the environment, the world has been in desperate need of alternative means to address our ever-growing energy needs. Attempts include solar, wind, geothermal and hydro-energy, nuclear fusion reactors, hydrogen energy and sodium-ion batteries, to name a few. While all these have certainly been laudable efforts, most have faced severe challenges and as a result, have achieved low to moderate success.
Solving mysteries of the universe after measuring gravity in the quantum world – Tech Explorist
Gravity is best described as a curvature of space-time. Hence, it remains resistant to unifications with quantum theory
Blocking out the noise: An interview with a quantum computing expert – McKinsey
February 29, 2024by Henning Soller Quantum computing, which uses the principles of quantum mechanics to solve extremely complex problems, has recently seen significant advances that are making the technology much more practical. The possibility of surpassing todays computing limitations has become increasingly relevant given the exponentially growing need of resources for generative AI. Realizing solutions to otherwise unsolvable problems has generated interest from companies and significant funding for quantum computing companies.

Ready for a quantum internet? Scientists just hit a key milestone in the race for an interconnected web of quantum … – Livescience.com
We're now one step closer to a "quantum internet" an interconnected web of quantum computers after scientists built a network of "quantum memories" at room temperature for the first time. In their experiments, the scientists stored and retrieved two photonic qubits qubits made from photons (or light particles) at the quantum level, according to their paper published on Jan. 15 in the Nature journal, Quantum Information
Scientists closer to solving mysteries of universe after measuring gravity in quantum world – University of Southampton
Home> > Published:26February2024 Scientists are a step closer to unravelling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level. Experts have never fully understood how the force which was discovered by Isaac Newton works in the tiny quantum world. Even Einstein was baffled by quantum gravity and, in his theory of general relativity, said there is no realistic experiment which could show a quantum version of gravity.
