Deep learning method enables efficient Boltzmann distribution sampling across a continuous temperature range

A research team has developed a novel direct sampling method based on deep generative models. Their method enables efficient sampling of the Boltzmann distribution across a continuous temperature range. The findings have been published in Physical Review Letters. The...

Quantum emitter discovery in diamonds enables a new type of coupling

Researchers at The City College of New York have shown how a quantum emitter, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, interacts in unexpected ways with a specially engineered photonic structure when moved around with a scanning tip. Go to Source

Algorithms that address malicious noise could result in more accurate, dependable quantum computing

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data inherently “noisy.” Rice University computer scientists have developed algorithms that account for noise that is not just random but...

Particle detector proves precision as it prepares to probe properties of quark-gluon plasma

A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early universe. The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and is...

Crystalline material conducts heat even worse than glass and water—and that’s promising

A research team from Aarhus University, Denmark, has measured and explained the exceptionally low thermal conductivity of the crystalline material AgGaGe3Se8. Despite its ordered structure, the material behaves like a glass in terms of heat transport—making it one of...
