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 ... >>

New Toshiba Projection TVs 11.05.2004

Toshiba has announced a new line of 10 widescreen rear projection TVs based on Texas Instrument's HD2+ chip.

All TVs are no thicker than 16 inches, with picture quality comparable to flat-panel plasmas, but at a significant price advantage. Toshiba said that having the built-in Toshiba Advanced Light Engine (TALEN) technology will allow unprecedented quality to be squeezed out of the HD2+ chip.

The new TVs are also equipped with the PixelPure Digital Video Processing Suite, which can process images with up to 6,2 million pixels, which corresponds to the maximum resolution of new products. The screens feature Toshiba's proprietary "TheaterFine" coating, which ensures glare-free and deep blacks.
