Physicists have demonstrated the first “strong and unconditional” #quantum advantage in a photonic platform. Using entangled light reduced the no. of measurements required to characterize a system by a factor of 10^11, and the time from 20 million yrs to 15 min. 🧪⚛️💡 physicsworld.com/a/entangled-...

Magnetic fields so strong they are typically only observed in astrophysical systems could be created in the laboratory. The proposed approach involves directing extremely short, intense laser pulses into a hollow tube housing sawtooth-like inner blades. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/laser-driv...

A substantial number of female physicists in the first half of the 20th century contributed to quantum physics. For the history of physics to properly recognize their work, new approaches are needed, argues Andrea Reichenberger in Nature Reviews Physics. go.nature.com/41mjQuJ #WomeninSTEM ⚛️ 🧪

Has science really reached the point where breakthrough are limited by the wide knowledge required to trigger them, or could a possible decrease in disruptive studies also be explained by an increasing administrative load and a necessity to produce results?
A feature in Nature examines the debate among researchers over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning and how to remedy the problem. 🧪
Are groundbreaking science discoveries becoming harder to find?
