No Wires, No Problem: Researchers Use Drones to Set Up Airborne Quantum Network
Scientists have set up a drone-based quantum network, transferring a quantum signal over a kilometer of open air, according to APS Physics. Although it’s a limited space, the demonstration shows the ability for quantum signals to be transmitted wirelessly, which has enormous defense and security implications. The Chinese-led research team reported their findings in Physical […]
Representing Entanglement with Graphs and Hypergraphs
In order to represent the full state of a quantum system we need to keep track of at least 2 things: The full state of each qubit The existing correlations between groups of qubits Note that the correlations between qubits can exist for groups larger than 2. It is really tempting to think that you […]
