| Researchers generate tunable photon-pair spectrum using room-temperature quantum optics silicon chip Posted: 16 Dec 2014 07:07 AM PST A team of researchers have demonstrated a way to emit and control quantum light generated using a chip made from silicon -- one of the most widely used materials for modern electronics.  |
| Algorithm identifies networks of genetic changes across cancers Posted: 15 Dec 2014 08:42 AM PST Using a computer algorithm that can sift through mounds of genetic data, researchers have identified several networks of genes that, when hit by a mutation, could play a role in the development of multiple types of cancer. The researchers hope the new genetic insights might aid in the development of new drugs and treatment approaches for cancer.  |
| Fraud-proof credit cards possible with quantum physics Posted: 15 Dec 2014 06:43 AM PST Though corporations and individuals work to improve safeguards, it has become increasingly difficult to protect financial data and personal information from criminal activity. Fortunately, new insights into quantum physics may soon offer a solution.  |
| Control of shape of light particles opens the way to 'quantum internet' Posted: 15 Dec 2014 05:44 AM PST In the same way as we now connect computers in networks through optical signals, it could also be possible to connect future quantum computers in a 'quantum internet'. The optical signals would then consist of individual light particles or photons. One prerequisite for a working quantum internet is control of the shape of these photons. Researchers have now succeeded for the first time in getting this control within the required short time.  |
