In the 1970s Stephen Hawking showed that singularities, and therefore black holes, can exist in our space-time continuum. He also revealed that although black holes radiate mass and energy in the surrounding medium through the event horizon, information falling into a black hole would be lost forever, meaning that ma... |

You can't transfer much information with a photon, we've learned that from our experience with today's existing optic communication devices. If a single photon of light is manipulated in a classical way, then photons are not too different from electrons in the matter of information transfer, except may... |

While most of the components of a typical computer system are not affected in any measurable way by their age, providing that they had spent their life in good conditions, there are still some systems that are based on mechanical components that are prone to a host of problems and critical failures. Among the still m... |

Quantum tunneling represents a quantum mechanics phenomenon, which allows a given particle to violate certain classical mechanics principles. For example, in order to extract an electron from the atom, one must contribute with an input of energy equal to or higher than that of the respective electron. However, quantu... |

The building block of quantum computers is the qubit, a unit of quantum information that can be made up of either atoms or photons. Atoms have a long coherence time, so they're used as "stationary" qubits, the nodes of the network, while photons are the "flying" cubits, the quantum channels connecting the nodes... |
