Limits for quantum computers: Perfect clocks are impossible

The research team created a mathematical model showing that no clock can have both infinite energy and perfect time resolution, setting limits to quantum computer capabilities. This realization impacts the speed and reliability of quantum computers, as current accuracy is limited by other factors.

New findings suggest Moon may have less water than previously thought

A team of scientists calculated that most of the Moon's permanently shadowed regions are younger than previously estimated and contain relatively young deposits of water ice. The findings suggest that current estimates for cold-trapped ices are too high, which could impact future missions to the Moon.

Some like it hot

Researchers from Kyoto University have demonstrated the thermal quantum Mpemba effect in a wide range of initial conditions, where hotter quantum systems cool faster than initially colder ones. The team used a quantum dot connected to a heat bath and observed anomalous thermal relaxation at later times.

Standoff coherent Raman spectrometer

Researchers have developed a novel air-laser-based standoff Raman spectrometer with high temporal and frequency resolutions. The device enables remote detection of chemical species in real time, monitoring their rovibronic levels and populations in the frequency domain.

Scientists are unravelling the mystery of the arrow of time

Researchers at CUNY Graduate Center explore how particles and cells give rise to large-scale dynamics that we experience as the passage of time. They found that the arrow of time emerges from simple interactions between pairs of neurons, not large groups. This discovery has implications for physics, neuroscience, and biology.

Quantum simulation more stable than expected

Researchers at University of Innsbruck discover that digital quantum simulation can retain controlled Trotter errors for local observables, reducing the number of required gate operations. This breakthrough makes digital quantum simulation more accessible to current day quantum devices.
