How can you tell a carnivore from a herbivore by eye position?

It is possible to distinguish herbivores from predators by the location of the eyes. Predators have their eyes on the front of their snouts, allowing them to accurately focus on their prey while stalking and chasing. In herbivores, the eyes are usually set apart on opposite sides of the muzzle, which increases the viewing radius for early detection of danger from a predator. Exceptions include monkeys, which have binocular vision and are not predators.

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 ... >>
