TQD Exclusive: 12 Women Pioneering The World Of Quantum Computing
STEM FIELDS’ WOES Traditionally speaking, science has been the pursuit of men, both in the academic and experimental side of things. This has started changing, however, with the number of women in STEM fields (e.g., science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) growing over the last few years (though many complain it is still too low proportionally speaking). […]
Unifying “Collapse” and “No-Collapse” Approaches to Quantum Physics
Research from Yale University, newly published in Annals of Physics, has established that we can unify the ways in which we describe measurements in classical physics and quantum physics, which was discussed in a previous article here on The Quantum Daily. Even if we don’t use the new resources this gives us, because quantum physics […]
The Quantum Weekly: Stronger Together – Classical and Quantum Measurements United!
A major advance in uniting classical and quantum measurements, using quantum computers to unchain the supply chain, and a lot more in this edition of The Quantum Weekly. Spotlight Story: “When Feynman was not saying that “nobody really understands quantum mechanics,” he was, in contrast, saying, “The physicist needs a facility in looking at problems […]
