News Technology Is Honeywell the New Frontrunner in Quantum Computing? Earlier last month, thermostat-company Honeywell announced that it had managed to create the world’s most powerful quantum computer, leaving behind the two major rivals in the field – Google and IBM. Honeywell claimed that its system works using more efficient technology. IBM and Google use superconducting quantum bits (“qubits”) in their systems, but Honeywell decided […] Written by Alizah Gul Memon 2020-05-012021-04-26 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Engineering Physical Sciences Technology Quantum Computers: Concept, Technology and Applications The invention of computer made calculations very fast. It paved the way for a rapid progress in science and technology. The early versions of computer were bulky. However, the invention of integrated chip in 1959 made desktops and laptops possible. For daily life needs, today’s computer technology is good enough. But with the time, data […] Written by Muhammad Ismail Khan 2020-04-162020-04-18 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
News Technology Scientists Have Achieved “Quantum Supremacy” In a world where the word “supremacy” has negative political connotations (does “white supremacy” ring a bell?), John Preskill, a professor of theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology, couldn’t find a more accurate term to describe the advantages of Quantum Physics over its classical counterpart, which is why he coined the term “quantum […] Written by Alizah Gul Memon 2019-10-272021-09-19 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
News Technology The Future of Sound in Quantum Computing In the context of wave particle duality just like light has “particles” called photons, sound also has particles called phonons. These particles, in-fact, are quasiparticles – a phenomenon that occurs when a microscopically complicated system behaves as if it were a particle. A quantum computer can deliver technology’s long-promised ability to help scientists do things […] Written by Farheen Fawad 2019-09-152021-09-07 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Mathematics Physical Sciences Einstein- The Incomparable Genius It is often said that the greatest of ideas come from the humblest of backgrounds. The beginning of the scientific life of one of the most prolific scientists of all time did indeed start with a simple scenario. A pocket compass was gifted to him by his father when he was five years old and […] Written by Ahmed Hassan 2018-05-172018-05-17 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Physical Sciences Schrodinger’s Cat: A mind Boggling Thought Experiment Albert Einstein once said, ‘God does not play dice with the universe’, to which Niels Bohr replied, ‘Einstein, stop telling God what to do!’ Einstein did not believe in quantum theory because of the mind boggling ideas quantum mechanics predicted. Einstein thought that classical mechanics was the true explanation of reality. In classical mechanics, if […] Written by Faizan E Ilahi 2018-01-122021-01-04 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
