Quantum paradox experiment may lead to more accurate clocks and sensors
More accurate clocks and sensors may result from a recently proposed experiment, linking an Einstein-devised paradox to quantum mechanics. A physicist said the international collaboration aimed to test Einstein's twin paradox using quantum particles in a 'superposition' state.

A multi-pronged data analysis approach that can strengthen the security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices — such as smart TVs, home video cameras and baby monitors — against current risks and threats has been created.

An artificial intelligence/machine learning model to predict which scientific advances are likely to eventually translate to the clinic has been developed.
Read morePhysicists couple key components of quantum technologies
Researchers are engaged in intensive work on the components of quantum technologies – these include circuits processing information using single photons instead of electricity, as well as light sources producing such quanta of light. Coupling these components to produce integrated quantum optical circuits on chips presents a challenge. Researchers have developed an interface that couples light sources for single photons with nanophotonic networks consisting of photonic crystals which can be replicated by using established nanofabrication processes.
Read moreRare 'Lazarus superconductivity' observed in promising, rediscovered material
A team of researchers has observed a rare phenomenon called re-entrant superconductivity in the material uranium ditelluride. Nicknamed 'Lazarus superconductivity,' the phenomenon occurs when a superconducting state arises, breaks down, then re-emerges in a material due to a change in a specific parameter — in this case, the application of a very strong magnetic field. The discovery furthers the case for uranium ditelluride as a promising material for use in quantum computers.

The US, UK and Australian governments last week officially urged Facebook to halt its plans for end-to-end encryption.<img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/nakedsecurity/~4/K9Rl32jdNKE” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>
Read moreNext-generation single-photon source for quantum information science
Researchers have built what they believe is 'the world's most efficient single-photon source.' And they are still improving it. With planned upgrades, the apparatus could generate upwards of 30 photons at unprecedented efficiencies. Sources of that caliber are precisely what's needed for optical quantum information applications.

User-based framing is generally better than item-based framing at generating click-throughs, but there are specific situations in which user-based framing is no longer advantageous or even becomes disadvantageous.
