Superposition, photosynthesis, One...
Photosynthesis seems to be taking advantage of the quantum phenomenon of superposition, which we thought can only be maninted for a long time in the controlled conditions of a lab. (1, 2, 3) Quantum coherence seems to be able to survive out in the... wild! Everything is possible... Nothing changes... The whole world is One... > Help…

A quantum programming language: Program what you don't know...
Quantum software has finally left the dark ages with the creation of the first practical, high-level programming language for quantum computers. Although today's devices are not ready for most practical applications, the language, called Quipper, could guide the design of these futuristic machines, as well as making them easier to program when they do arrive. (1)…

Quantum biology, superposition, Parmenides
University of Chicago researchers have created a synthetic compound that mimics the complex quantum dynamics observed in photosynthesis and may enable fundamentally new routes to creating solar-energy technologies. Engineering quantum effects into synthetic light-harvesting devices is not only possible, but also easier than anyone expected, the researchers report in the April 19 edition of Science. The…

Matter into antimatter and vice-versa...
A particle with an identity crisis could provide the next big discovery at the world's largest particle accelerator. Researchers report online March 5 in Physical Review Letters that the D meson has been caught in the act of flipping between matter and antimatter. (1) Change is shirfing between states. What happens if you constantly change from one…
