• ITMO University and Kazan Quantum Center Launch the First Multinode Quantum Network in CIS

  …annels to hacker attacks. As opposed to mathematical encryption algorithms, even the best of which can be "cracked", quantum communication systems make use of the fundamental laws of physics: information is carried by single photons that change at any attempt of signal interception, thus informing the user momentarily of an interception attempt. Quantum communication…

  …ingle photons using semiconductors. I, among other things, am working on this task. It’s important to keep in mind that, when we’re dealing with several photons, the physical laws are different from what they’d be if you were to work with a beam made of millions of photons. In a system where photons are “released” one by one, the quantum properties of light are manif…

  …l change of the Earth's rotational axis due to moon's and Sun's gravitation. The precession changes once in about 25.5 thousands years. For those who knew nothing of Newton's laws, noticing this much is a great accomplishment - they did it because the position of stars as we see it changes due to precession. For instance, in some time the North Star will no longer be…
