Henry Menken. The most famous aphorisms

Charity and patriotism are the main qualities of an American who needs to sell something.
Wealth is any income that is at least one hundred dollars more than the annual income of your wife's sister's husband.
Entering into marriage, a man and a woman become one person - the only question is how.
Democracy is the art and science of running a circus from a monkey cage.
The only truly happy people are married women and unmarried men.
A woman before marriage is a provocateur, after marriage she is a gendarme.
A woman is simultaneously a snake, an apple... and a stomach ache.
Women don't like timid men. Cats don't like wary mice.
However happy a married woman may be, it will always give her pleasure to find that there is a pleasant man who wishes her to be unmarried.
When a wife takes her husband at his word, she is suspicious.
Man is polygamous by nature. One woman always leads him by the nose, and the other hangs around his neck.
The worst thing about marriage is that it makes a woman believe that all men are just as easily fooled.
The first kiss is stolen by a man, the last one is begged by a woman.
A kiss between two women always resembles the handshake of wrestlers before a fight.
Imagine the Creator as a simple joker - and the world will immediately become understandable.
In a democracy, a good politician is almost as incredible a figure as an honest burglar.
Religion can be briefly defined as the illogical belief in the possibility of the impossible.
A priest is one who speculates with tickets at the gates of heaven.
A bachelor is one who wishes to have a wife, but rejoices that he does not have one.
Bachelors know women better than married women, otherwise they would get married too.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Quantum teleportation of information inside a diamond 08.07.2019

Japanese scientists have successfully implemented quantum teleportation.

"Quantum teleportation allows you to transfer quantum information to a different, inaccessible space," said Hideo Kosaka, professor of engineering at Yokohama National University and author of the study. "It also allows information to be transferred to quantum memory without exposing or destroying data already stored," he added.

In this case, the "inaccessible space" consisted of carbon atoms inside the diamond. A diamond is made up of interconnected yet sufficiently separate atoms, making it an ideal medium for testing the mechanics of teleportation. In its nucleus, each carbon atom contains six protons and neutrons surrounded by six spinning electrons. Therefore, when the atoms bind into a single diamond structure, they form a particularly strong lattice. But, of course, it can contain defects - for example, when a nitrogen atom accidentally takes the place of a carbon atom. Such a defect is called a nitrogen vacancy center. Surrounded by carbon atoms, the structure of the nitrogen atom's nucleus creates what Kosaka calls a nanomagnet.

To manipulate the electron and carbon isotope at the vacancy center, Kosaka and team attached a wire about a quarter of the width of a human hair to the surface of the diamond. After that, they created an oscillating magnetic field around the diamond using microwave radiation. A nitrogen "nanomagnet" was used to fix the electron. Then, using radio waves and electric waves, the team made the spin of the electron intertwine with the nuclear spin of carbon so that they actually become one and can no longer be considered separately from each other. At this moment, a photon containing quantum information is introduced into the system, and the electron absorbs it. As a result, the charge is transferred by the electron to carbon and polarizes it, and along with this, quantum information is also transferred.

Scientists called their device a "quantum repeater", and with its help it is possible to transmit individual portions of information from node to node through a quantum field. The ultimate goal of the experiment is scalable repeaters that will allow teleportation of information to large volumes. Of course, it will not do without distributive quantum computers that will be able to perform more serious calculations.
