Quantum Error Correction: Breaking the Break-Even Barrier

Quantum error correction goes beyond breaking even

From United States Department of Energy July 10, 2023 A logic qubit is embedded in the state space of a harmonic oscillator using the grid code, represented here by the faces of the cube. Quantum error correction protects these grid states from corruption caused by a noisy environment, symbolized by the beam. Credit: Image courtesy … Read more

Orbital Sidekick: Bringing Hyperspectral Imaging from the Garage to the Pentagon – Breaking Defense

All Domain, Space Hyperspectral satellite imagery can provide detailed information about the composition of terrestrial objects. (European Space Agency) WASHINGTON The first space-based hyperspectral imaging sensor built by San Francisco-based startup Orbital Sidekick, founded in 2016, literally flew from CEO and co-founder Dan Katz’s garage to the International Space Station as an experiment for the … Read more

Discovering the low energy breaking point for exotic Quark-Gluon Plasma creation

Mapping of nuclear phase changes

From United States Department of Energy July 2, 2023 A hypothesized phase diagram of nuclear matter. New data showing that high collision energies produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP), whereas lower energy collisions do not, will help scientists draw the boundaries between QGP and the hadronic phase.
