Now that LIGO has finally seen gravitational waves, we know that ripples in the fabric of space are real. But is gravity fundamentally a quantum force? Gravitational waves can teach us, but it’s won’t be LIGO that does it!

“A metaphorical chip holding all the programming for our universe stores information like a quantum computer.” This is the radical insight to the foundation of our Universe developed by Mark Van Raamsdonk, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of British Columbia, that says that the world we see around us is a projection from a set of rules written in simpler, lower-dimensional physics—just as the 2D code in a computer’s memory chip creates an entire virtual 3D world. “What Mark has done is put his finger on a key ingredient of how space-time is emerging: entanglement,” says Gary Horowitz, who studies quantum gravity at the University of California Santa Barbara. Horowitz says this idea has changed how people think about quantum gravity, though it hasn’t yet been universally accepted. “You don’t come across this idea by following other ideas. It requires a strange insight,” Horowitz adds. “He is one of the stars of the younger generation.”

“We’re trying to construct a dictionary,” says Van Raamsdonk, that allows physicists to translate descriptions of our complex universe into simpler terms. If they succeed, they will have found the biggest jigsaw piece in the puzzle of a Grand Unified Theory—something that can describe all of the forces of our universe, at all scales from the atomic to the galactic. That puzzle piece is, specifically, something that can describe gravity within the framework of quantum mechanics, which governs physics on small scales. Such a unified theory is needed to explain the extreme scenarios of a black hole or the first moments of the universe.”

Researchers developing large-scale quantum computers hope that playing a video game will provide the solutions they need to program their advanced machines.

China’s Quantum Satellite — it’s now official China has beaten the US with their launch of a Quantum Satellite for secured communications. At this rate; US can possibly expect China has and will continue to advance its networking infrastructure. US Government has a good strategy in place.

Quantum space satellite, a satellite under the Chinese space program, is making waves in the country as it is the first satellite to deliver quantum communication in China, according to Chinese state media.

This new innovation is a breakthrough technology and it will be an asset for China’s power all over the globe.

Given robotics history, I can understand Canada’s viewpoint. However, as technologies such as Quantum is applied to AI; we then will see real improvements in robotics. Until Quantum is AI’s platform; we will see robotics still fall short in many areas and will continue to see limited use and adoption.

Nowhere is the world’s robotic future more controversial than in Canada.

In a new global poll from travel site Travelzoo, Canadians were the least likely to agree that robots will make people’s lives better.

“While our materialistic paradigm would have us believe that our consciousness is housed in our physical brain and does not extend beyond it, there is growing evidence that this is actually not true.”

Q-Dots windows to power homes and other buildings.

Researchers at the Los Alamos National Lab may have found a way to take quantum dots and put them in your ordinary windows to turn them into solar collectors.

In simple terms.

When Thomas Edison first passed an electric current through a filament in vacuum to produce light, he could not have imagined the global revolution he was to unleash. Physicists at Sydney Uni’s new Nanoscience Hub feel the same about the coming quantum revolution.

Australia’s more investment into Quantum technology.

The coming scientific revolution will make today’s supercomputers seem sluggish.
