Teleportation repeater for quantum internet

06.06.2022

A group of scientists from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands has presented the basis for the quantum Internet - a teleportation relay for indirect transmission of quantum states over a distance. During the experiment, a quantum state was transferred between two not directly connected network nodes without data loss, which was an important step towards creating a quantum internet.

A team led by Ronald Hanson created a network of three nodes, each of which was a pair of qubits - one for storing state and the second for communication. The spin of the nucleus of the carbon atom in diamond was responsible for the preservation of the quantum state - it was a "memory" qubit, and the spin of the electron in each pair was used to transfer the quantum state to other nodes of the network.

Then the electron spins of two neighboring directly connected nodes (B and C) were brought into a state of quantum entanglement. This means that the quantum state of one qubit depended on the state of the other. Entanglement leads to the fact that even if these particles are far apart, when there is no interaction known to science between them, the quantum states continue to be bound. For example, measuring the state of one of the bound particles immediately gives information about the state of the other, and in this case, they are destroyed.

There were no problems to transfer the quantum state between two connected nodes. Scientists first used an intermediate node to prepare entanglement and then, bypassing the direct link, teleport the entangled state to node A, which was not directly connected to relay node C.

"It's really teleportation, like in sci-fi movies," Hanson told New Scientist. "State, or information, really disappears on one side and appears on the other, and because it doesn't move in space between them, [data] also can't get lost."

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 method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Surgeon's black box 06.02.2002

Specialists at Imperial College London are developing a system for recording everything that happens in the surgical operating room. Just as information from the aviation "black box" helps to investigate the causes of accidents, in surgery it will allow us to study in detail each operation, including the reasons for its failure.

Electromagnetic or ultrasonic sensors mounted on the hands of the surgeon will record all his movements. There should also be a record of conversations in the operating room, all vital signs of the patient, and even a record of who and when entered the room during the operation and left it.

The development leader, Ara Darzi, professor of surgery at the Imperial College, says the system will be cheaper than many modern hospital equipment. A spokesman for the British Medical Association expressed concern that the consciousness of constant surveillance would unnerve people engaged in vital work. But the same fears were expressed before the introduction of "black boxes" in aviation.
