Insider Brief Alice & Bob announce the publication of its seminal research in Nature, showcasing the company’s advances in cat qubit technology. The researchers report extending the bit’s turnaround time from milliseconds to tens of seconds, thousands of times better than any other type of superconducting qubit. The researchers used the Alice & Bobs Boson … Read more
The Doppler effect can be heard especially clearly when a train passes. The presence of the same effect in the generalized telegraphic equation indicates the wave nature of heat transport over small distances. Credit: IFJ PAN When a train approaches or an ambulance approaches us with its siren blaring, we hear the sound at an … Read more
Wenge Huang inspects material samples in Jiangtao Cheng’s lab. Credit: Alex Parrish for Virginia Tech. Sprinkle a few drops of water on a hot pan and if the pan is hot enough, the water will sizzle and the water droplets will appear to swirl and float, hovering above the surface. The temperature at which this … Read more
