  • The Misplaced Fury Around Sound: Time to Put the Record Straight on Seismic Surveys in South Africa and End the Energy Crisis (By NJ Ayuk)
    By NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber ( www.EnergyChamber.org ) and Author of A Just Transition: Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix.
  • Seismic surveys use sound waves to help oil and gas companies build an image of hydrocarbon deposits buried deep underground.
  • The group argued that seismic surveys — or “blasting,” as they characterize it — endanger the Wild Coast’s marine environment.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a way to map and measure large-scale photonic quantum correlation with single-photon sensitivity.

Key Points: 
  • For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a way to map and measure large-scale photonic quantum correlation with single-photon sensitivity.
  • The ability to measure thousands of instances of quantum correlation is critical for making photon-based quantum computing practical.
  • This unique approach would also be useful for quantum simulation, quantum communication, quantum sensing and single-photon biomedical imaging.
  • However, incorporating the new photonic quantum chips into a quantum computer requires measuring all the modes and their photonic correlations at a single-photon level.
