Physicists Set New World Record for Qubit Operation Accuracy

100% Center coverage: 6 sources

Physicists at the University of Oxford have set a new global benchmark for the accuracy of controlling a single quantum bit, achieving the lowest-ever error rate for a quantum logic operation—just 0.000015%, or one error in 6.7 million operations. This record-breaking result represents nearly an order of magnitude improvement over the previous benchmark, set by the same research group a decade ago.See the Story

Is Gravity Just Entropy Rising? Long-Shot Idea Gets Another Look.

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all… Source Read Article

Epic Effort to Ground Physics in Math Opens Up the Secrets of Time

At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical way of thinking into the world of physics. At the time, physicists were still plagued by debates about basic definitions — what is heat? how are molecules structured? — and Hilbert hoped that the formal logic of mathematics could provide guidance.

Does Form Really Shape Function?

What links a Möbius strip, brain folds and termite mounds? The answer is Harvard University’s L. Mahadevan, whose career has been devoted to using mathematics and physics to explore the form and function of common phenomena. Mahadevan, or Maha to his friends and colleagues, has long been fascinated by questions one wouldn’t normally ask — from the equilibrium shape of inert objects like a Möbius… SourceHarvard · Cambridge Read Article

First Map Made of a Solid’s Secret Quantum Geometry

Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be in multiple possible locations at once. A particle’s state spreads out like a wave, peaking where the particle is likely to be found. When you measure its position, this spread-out state, known as a wave function, transforms into a single definite location. The full shape of the wave function long evaded detection, since trying to measure it will… Source See the Story

How Much Energy Does It Take To Think?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

You’ve just gotten home from an exhausting day. All you want to do is put your feet up and zone out to whatever is on television. Though the inactivity may feel like a well-earned rest, your brain is not just chilling. In fact, it is using nearly as much energy as it did during your stressful activity, according to recent research. Sharna Jamadar, a neuroscientist at Monash University in… SourceEnergy · Melbourne See the Story

The Core of Fermat’s Last Theorem Just Got Superpowered

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

In 1994, an earthquake of a proof shook up the mathematical world. The mathematician Andrew Wiles had finally settled Fermat’s Last Theorem, a central problem in number theory that had remained open for over three centuries. The proof didn’t just enthrall mathematicians — it made the front page of The New York Times. But to accomplish it, Wiles (with help from the mathematician Richard Taylor)… Source See the Story

How Can AI Researchers Save Energy? By Going Backward.

For Michael Frank, efficiency has always been a major preoccupation. As a student in the 1990s, he was originally interested in artificial intelligence. But once he realized how much energy the technology would use, he took his research in another direction. “I started getting interested in the physical limits of computation,” he said. “What’s the most efficient computer you can possibly build?”… SourceArtificial Intelligence See the Story

Will We Ever Prove String Theory?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

For decades, string theory has been hailed as the leading candidate for the theory of everything in our universe. Yet despite its mathematical elegance, the theory still lacks empirical evidence. One of its most intriguing, yet vexing, implications is that if all matter and forces are composed of vibrations of tiny strands, then this allows for a vast landscape of possible universes with… Source See the Story

Inside Manu Prakash are two scientists. A bioengineer at Stanford University, he spends half his time studying urgent health issues with global impact and the rest pursuing questions “of no use to anyone,” he said. To him, though, there is no conflict between these pursuits. Together, they represent something of a philosophy for life. Prakash is widely recognized for his pioneering low-cost… SourceStanford · Stanford See the Story

Singularities in Space-Time Prove Hard to Kill

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally interwoven threads of space and time seem to stop short. These mysterious points are known as singularities. Singularities are predictions of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Source See the Story
