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 ... >>

Transcend SSD2,5N 250" NAS Drives 24.04.2021

Transcend has announced the availability of 2,5-inch drives SSD250N series, designed for use in network attached storage (NAS). The devices feature a SATA 6Gb/s interface, use 3D NAND TLC memory chips and, according to the vendor, are "highly rugged, proven stability and guaranteed reliability."

Transcend SSD250N drives will be offered in 1TB and 2TB versions. They are characterized by sequential read speeds up to 560 MB / s, writes up to 480 MB / s and a performance level when working with arbitrary blocks up to 82 thousand / 80 thousand IOPS (read / write). During the 5-year warranty, devices can be written to at least 1000 and 2000 TB of information, respectively.

Among other features of the SSD250N, the manufacturer highlights the wear leveling system and the presence of a DDR3 buffer. The new items will go on sale in the coming weeks. The press service of Transcend does not disclose the recommended cost of drives, but European stores already offer them at a price of 178 euros for a 1TB model and 348 euros for a two-terabyte version.
