At first glance, black holes and qubits seem to be two completely different entities and indeed they are, although they seem to share a great deal of resemblances. For example, last year, Michael Duff from the Imperial College London first demonstrated a connection between the entropy of a black hole and the ways thr... |

The device created by the UK researchers, measuring only a few millimeters across, has the capability to process the signals carried by individual photons of light, much in the same way electronic logic gates control electrical signals. While electronic logic gates may be manufactured into tiny silicon chips and inco... |

Men around the world can now start celebrating the creation of the world's smallest diamond ring! Now everybody can afford a diamond ring. Too bad it is only 5 millionths of a meter in diameter and bears five-billionths of a carat of diamond, this meaning it can only be viewed through a microscope. The proud inv... |

I'm sure most of you have heard a few things about quantum dots in science news, however most of these never seem to present what a quantum dot really is. Quantum dots are usually constructed out of semiconductors and routinely studied in electronic devices such as transistors, light emitting diodes or laser dio... |

This discovery could be a step forward into constructing what scientists call a quantum computer. Unlike classical computers that use bits to store and process information, the future generation of computers is supposed to use quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement to process data. The i... |

A full-fledged quantum computer may sound like Sci-Fi but there are people (smart people by the way) that work to build it. "We're still 10 to 20 years away from a quantum computer," says Bells Labs' Steven Simon, as cited by the computer news site PCMag."But we're getting closer and closer." First of ... |

Qubits are single units of quantum information, based on the fact that quantum states can be interpreted as information, which can be compressed in a state and stored on a smaller number of states. Most researchers seem to think photons will be the next step in computing technology, creating the supercomputers of th... |
