Loop quantum gravity: time come in tiny chunks?

Posted by in category: quantum physics

Quantum mechanics tells us that the forces of nature come in discrete, tiny chunks. Gravity, the bending of space-time, is a force. So is space-time quantized as well?

Sensor breakthrough paves way for groundbreaking map of world under Earth surface

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, security

This looks interesting.

If it can detect underground structures, not only might it detect tunnels, but it might make tunneling easier.


An object hidden below ground has been located using quantum technology—a long-awaited milestone with profound implications for industry, human knowledge and national security.

Mind-bending new quantum experiments are blurring past, present and future

Posted by in categories: futurism, quantum physics

A professor of physics explains how mind-bending quantum experiments are blurring the line between past, present and future. Further, he argues, these experiments, which factor in ‘the relevance of the future to the present’, may demand a radical rethinking of quantum experimentation itself.

High precision measurement of the charm oscillation parameter yCP — yCPKπ using decays of D0 mesons to two light mesons

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

Yesterday, LHCb submitted for publication new results of matter-antimatter oscillations using decays of charm particles, significantly improving the current experimental knowledge!

Read our news: https://lhcb-outreach.web.cern.ch/2022/02/21/high-precision-…ht-mesons/


Today, the LHCb Collaboration submitted for publication a paper that reports the results of the high precision measurement of the charm oscillation (mixing) parameter yCP – yCP using two body D0 meson decays. The result is more precise than the current world average value by a factor of four.

Physicists harness electrons to make ‘synthetic dimensions’

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

Our spatial sense doesn’t extend beyond the familiar three dimensions, but that doesn’t stop scientists from playing with whatever lies beyond.

Rice University physicists are pushing spatial boundaries in new experiments. They’ve learned to control electrons in gigantic Rydberg atoms with such precision they can create “synthetic dimensions,” important tools for .

The Rice team developed a technique to engineer the Rydberg states of ultracold strontium atoms by applying resonant microwave electric fields to couple many states together. A Rydberg state occurs when one electron in the atom is energetically bumped up to a highly , supersizing its orbit to make the atom thousands of times larger than normal.

Scientists Are Data Mining Black Holes to See If They Are Holograms

Posted by in categories: cosmology, holograms, quantum physics, robotics/AI

There are few places in the universe that invite as much curiosity—and terror—as the interior of a black hole. These extreme objects exert such a powerful gravitational pull that not even light can escape them, a feature that has left many properties of black holes unexplained.

Now, a team led by Enrico Rinaldi, a research scientist at the University of Michigan, have used quantum computing and deep learning to probe the bizarre innards of black holes under the framework of a mind-boggling idea called holographic duality. This idea posits that black holes, or even the universe itself, might be holograms.

Now that the final book in The Cybernetic Theory of Mind series is released, the entire eBook series is available on Amazon all in one place!

Posted by in categories: computing, neuroscience, quantum physics, singularity, transhumanism

This is a 5-book set on the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, physics of time, computational physics, philosophy of mind, foundations of quantum physics, technological singularity, transhumanism, impending phase transition of humanity, simulation hypothesis, economic theory, extended Gaia theory, transcendental metaphysics and God, all of which is combined into one elegant Theory of Everything.

If you’re eager to familiarize with probably the most advanced ontological framework to date or if you’re already familiar with the Syntellect Hypothesis which, with this series, is now presented to you as the full-fledged Cybernetic Theory of Mind, then this series will surely present to you some newly-introduced and updated material if compared with the originally published version and can be read as a stand-alone work just like any book of the series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R2K7ZK2?tag=lifeboatfound-20

Quantum algorithms for computing observables of nonlinear partial differential equations

Posted by in categories: computing, information science, mapping, quantum physics

We construct quantum algorithms to compute physical observables of nonlinear PDEs with M initial data. Based on an exact mapping between nonlinear and linear PDEs using the level set method, these new quantum algorithms for nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi and scalar hyperbolic PDEs can be performed with a computational cost that is independent of M, for arbitrary nonlinearity. Depending on the details of the initial data, it can also display up to exponential advantage in both the dimension of the PDE and the error in computing its observables. For general nonlinear PDEs, quantum advantage with respect to M is possible in the large M limit.
