Why the U.N. declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology – Big Think
When you hear the term quantum mechanics, you no doubt think about some weird and counterintuitive stuff things like electrons being both particles and waves or cats being simultaneously dead and alive. However, despite the almost-unbelievable subatomic spookiness, our modern societies would not be possible if quantum mechanics were not true. In recognition of a century since the theory was developed, the United Nations has declared 2025 to be the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, a year for both celebrating past successes and planning for a future in which people across the globe can benefit from these crucial technologies
Precision instrument bolsters efforts to find elusive dark energy – EurekAlert
image: Physicists at UC Berkeley immobilized small clusters of cesium atoms (pink blobs) in a vertical vacuum chamber, then split each atom into a quantum state in which half of the atom was closer to a tungsten weight (shiny cylinder) than the other half (split spheres below the tungsten). By measuring the phase difference between the two halves of the atomic wave function, they were able to calculate the difference in the gravitational attraction between the two parts of the atom, which matched what is expected from Newtonian gravity.
Quantum Sensors Unveil the Mysteries of Dark Matter – AZoQuantum
Efforts to understand dark matter, a mysterious substance that constitutes about 85 % of the universe's mass, have led to major advancements in scientific technology. In this wave of innovation, quantum sensors have stood out as a promising tool for detecting and studying dark matter
Emergent quantum phase transition of a Josephson junction coupled to a high-impedance multimode resonator – Nature.com
Quantum circuit model Let us consider the multimode circuit QED system in Fig.1a, namely a Josephson junction coupled to a lumped-element transmission line. As detailed in the Methods, the quantum Hamiltonian has been derived from the circuit Lagrangian depending on C and , respectively, the capacitance and inductance matrices.
Quantum Simulations Reveal New Insights into Behavior of Neutrinos Fueling Supernovas – The Debrief
Sometimes, the biggest things in the universe can be propelled forward by the universes smallest particles. This seems to be the case for supernovas, which create multitudes of subatomic particles known as neutrinos
