Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard are the recipients of the 2025 ACM A.M. Turing Award for their essential role in establishing the foundations of quantum information science and transforming secure communication and computing
Bennett, an American physicist at IBM Research, and Brassard, a Canadian computer scientist at the Université de Montréal, are widely recognized as founders of quantum information science, a field at the intersection of physics and computer science that treats quantum mechanical phenomena not merely as properties of matter, but as resources for processing and transmitting information. The ACM A.M. Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize in Computing,” carries a $1 million prize with financial support provided by Google, Inc. The award is named for Alan M. Turing, the British mathematician who articulated the mathematical foundations of computing.
Hack in Days of Future Pasthttps://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/y4y1-1ll6 Well… that’s not something I expected to read today.
A new Physical Review Letters paper claims a way to effectively clone qubits.
The trick: the copies are quantum-encrypted. You can make many of them, but the decryption key only works once — so at any moment only one usable quantum state exists, keeping the no-cloning theorem intact.
Interesting idea for quantum backups and distributed quantum data.
Probably worth investigating more deeply…
adding it to the already far too long TODO list. #QuantumPhysics #QuantumInformation #Qubits #QuantumComputing #Physics #AcademicMastodon

steveThe last two days of the Aspen winter conference on “Paving the Way to New Discoveries in Particle Physics” ended with some pretty interesting stuff. From questions about sources of ultra-high-energy neutrinos to implications for the Standard Model from quantum information theory, this conference did not disappoint.

Javier Manuel Martín Alonso@Bubbleverse Agreement isn't the goal—revelation is. 🤝 While we diverge on the nature of singularities, reality remains the final judge.
I’m now looking toward the #BelleII team and their cutting-edge research on quantum information to provide the light we need. Let the precision of the B-factory show if these "signals" are just model limits or the very fabric of a holographic universe. ⚛️✨

The #Zoomposium with #GerdGanteför deals with precisely these boundary questions: Is physics rediscovering the intangible – without slipping into the esoteric?
