February 14, 2019, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich What is a black hole? In an article that has just appeared in the journal Nature Astronomy, LMU philosopher Erik Curiel shows that physicists use different definitions of the concept, depending on their own particular fields of interest. A black hole is conventionally thought of as an astronomical […]
By Martin Giles, MIT Technology Review on Jan 31, 2019,How it works, why it’s so powerful, and where it’s likely to be most useful first A quantum computer harnesses some of the almost-mystical phenomena of quantum mechanics to deliver huge leaps forward in processing power. Quantum machines promise to outstrip even the most capable of […]
February 11, 2019, University of Pennsylvania Quantum computers promise to be a revolutionary technology because their elementary building blocks, qubits, can hold more information than the binary, 0-or-1 bits of classical computers. But to harness this capability, hardware must be developed that can access, measure and manipulate individual quantum states. Researchers at the University of […]
By Ashwani Kumar on Feb 8From Schrodinger’s Cat to finding a needle in a haystack Source: Wikimedia Commons With the recent announcement of IBM Q System One — the first fully-integrated commercial quantum computer — by IBM at CES 2019, quantum computing is soon to enter mainstream computing. Housed in a nine-foot-tall, nine-foot-wide case of half-inch thick glass, it will still take […]
Feb. 04, 2019 by Tim Hinchliffe Quantum computing is now evolving as the hottest technology of 2019, but concepts behind this tech go back millennia, including those of parallel universes within a single multiverse. “Quantum computation […] will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes” – David […]
Sayantini Deb on Aug 20, 2018 Creating accurate Machine Learning Models which are capable of identifying and localizing multiple objects in a single image remained a core challenge in computer vision. But, with recent advancements in Deep Learning, Object Detection applications are easier to develop than ever before. TensorFlow’s Object Detection API is an open source framework built on […]

The electrons are trapped by defects in …more Quantum computers promise to be a revolutionary technology because their elementary building blocks, qubits, […]
Feb. 11, 2019 by Tim Hinchliffe Like trying to quickly scale a ladder with a glass of water in your hand without spilling a drop is how researchers at Finland’s Aalto University describe their latest research into approaching the quantum computing speed limit with accuracy. The ability to track and control quantum processors in real […]
By CARLOS PEREZ-DELGADO on FEB 08, 2019 IBM recently unveiled what it claimed was the world’s first commercial quantum computer. While the announcement of the Q System One wasn’t scientifically groundbreaking, the fact that IBM sees this as a commercial product that organizations (if not individuals) will want to use is an important breakthrough. IBM has taken […]
BY TOM SIEGFRIED, AUGUST 17, 2016 ER=EPR summarizes new clues to understanding entanglement and spacetime Wormholes, tunnels through the fabric of spacetime that connect widely separated locations, are predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Some physicists think that wormholes could connect black holes in space, possibly providing a clue to the mysteries of quantum […]
By Harley Manson June 30, 2017 A new scientific concept has recently come to light, which scientists are calling “panpsychism.” Panpsychism says that the universe could be capable of consciousness, which could change everything. For quite some time, scientists have been working to understand the universe, where it came from, and why we are here. […]
