Limits for quantum computers: Perfect clocks are impossible

There are different ideas about how quantum computers could be built. But they all have one thing in common: you use a quantum physical syst

The research team was able to show that since no clock has an infinite amount of energy available (or generates an infinite amount of entropy), it can never have perfect resolution and perfect precision at the same time. This sets fundamental limits to the possibilities of quantum computers.

Two galaxies, a galaxy cluster, supernova remnant, double star system, and planetary nebula are represented.

4/100 days of productivity

Today was a hard day, but I went to an interesting lecture, and I was super happy about it! The other test didn't go so well, and I have started doing my project... which BTW the due is tomorrow at 12AM... I hope to finish it by then! Overall this week is hellish for me and honestly I can't wait to just lay down a bit 😅

High-energy 'sun goddess' particle opens possibilities for new physics, exciting scientists

"I am personally excited to have found a new mystery in science to solve."

Over the years, scientists have managed to unveil the existence of quite a few intriguing particles, pushing the entire field of physics forward with each discovery. There's the "God Particle" for instance, aka the Higgs Boson that grants all other particles their masses. There's also the so-called "Oh My God!" particle, an unimaginably energetic cosmic ray.  But now we have a new particle in town. It's named  the "sun goddess" particle  —  and is fittingly extraordinary.  This particle has an energy level one million times greater than what can be generated in even humanity’s most powerful particle accelerators; it appears to have fallen to Earth in a shower of other, less energetic particles. Like the "Oh My God!" particle, these bits come from faraway regions of space and are known as cosmic rays. The particle has been dubbed "Amaterasu" after Amaterasu Ōmikami, the goddess of the sun and the universe in Japanese mythology, whose name means "shining in heaven." And just as its mythological namesake is shrouded in mystery, so too is the Amaterasu particle. Its discoverers, including Osaka Metropolitan University researcher Toshihiro Fujii, don’t know where the particle came from or indeed what it is. They also still aren't sure what kind of violent and powerful process could have given rise to something as energetic as Amaterasu.
