Quantum in the news

 

Readers of Singapore newspaper The Straits Times found out why they should care about quantum physics, thanks to an opinion piece by CQT's Valerio Scarani. Valerio writes that quantum physics is good for more than inspiring movie plots. A grasp of quantum technologies will be important for the future of the economy. He highlights educational opportunities including the NUS Specialisation in Quantum Technologies for physics undergraduates and QUANTUM: The Exhibition now at Science Centre Singapore.

Laser swap can cut cost for entangled photon production

Alexander Ling's team has found a way to make entangled photon pairs more efficiently, using a cheap broadband laser instead of a more expensive narrowband laser diode. As well as saving cost, the innovation could support applications needing high photon rates such as multi-user networks and space communication.

Maxwell’s lesser demon helps new quantum heat engine

CQT’s Stella Seah and Valerio Scarani and their collaborator CQT alumnus Stefan Nimmrichter describe a new model of a quantum heat engine.Their design, employing a ‘lesser Maxwell’s demon’, has the advantage of being more stable to fluctuations in the temperature of the environment.
