By David Moats David Moats, an author and journalist who lives in Salisbury, is a regular columnist for VTDigger. He is editorial page editor emeritus of the Rutland Herald, where he won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for a series of editorials on Vermonts civil union law. At a time when facts, science, and the very idea of objective truth are under assault from many quarters, its ironic that one of the big movies of the season has focused on the life of one of the most celebrated scientists of the 20th century

At this very moment, observatories like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are visualizing the earliest stars and galaxies in the universe, which formed during a period known as the "Cosmic Dark Ages." This period was previously inaccessible to telescopes because the universe was permeated by clouds of neutral hydrogen

In the Barz groups experiment with a two-stage interferometer auxiliary photons are used to generate distinct measurement patterns for all four Bell states, increasing the efficiency beyond the traditional limit of 50%. Credit: Jon Heras, Cambridge Illustrators Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have demonstrated that a key ingredient for many quantum computation and communication schemes can be performed with an efficiency that exceeds the commonly assumed upper theoretical limit thereby opening up new perspectives for a wide range of photonic quantum technologies.

The findings are published in the journal Physical Review Letters.
