From the article:

The potential of quantum computers is currently being discussed in settings ranging from banks to merchant ships, and now the technology has been taken even further afield – or rather, lower down. 

 

One hundred meters below the Franco-Swiss border sits the world’s largest machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operated by the European laboratory for particle physics, CERN. And to better understand the mountains of data produced by such a colossal system, CERN’s scientists have been asking IBM’s quantum team for some assistance.

From the article:

Time crystals sound like something out of science fiction, but they may be the next major leap in quantum network research. A team based in Japan has proposed a method to use time crystals to simulate massive networks with very little computing power.  

 

They published their results on October 16, 2020, Science Advances.

From the article:

A team of physicists led by Professor Patrick Windpassinger at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has successfully transported light stored in a quantum memory over a distance of 1.2 millimeters. They have demonstrated that the controlled transport process and its dynamics has only little impact on the properties of the stored light. The researchers used ultra-cold rubidium-87 atoms as a storage medium for the light as to achieve a high level of storage efficiency and a long lifetime.

From the article:
In the quantum world, teleportation involves the transportation of information, rather than the transportation of matter like in science fiction.

Last year, scientists confirmed that information could be passed between photons on computer chips even when the photons were not physically linked.

In a paper in Nature Communications and one to appear in Physical Review X, researchers explore new ways of creating quantum-mechanical interactions between distant electrons.

From the article:
"As the name suggests, materials science is the branch devoted to the discovery and development of new materials. It’s an outgrowth of both physics and chemistry, using the periodic table as its grocery store and the laws of physics as its cookbook.  

And today, we are in the middle of a materials science revolution. In this article, we’ll unpack the most important materials advancements happening now."
