The photonic link enables an all-silicon quantum network.

The constituents of the "T" center (two carbon atoms and a hydrogen atom) are shown as orange, and the optically-addressable electron spin is in shining pale blue.

The ability to transport data between silicon and photons is one of the most incredible things in the history of data transportation. That thing allows for the creation of all-silicon quantum networks. The all-silicon-based quantum networks are making it possible to create small-size and even portable quantum computers. The all-silicon quantum circuits mean that there is the possibility that quantum laptops are in the shops faster than we ever expected. 

The data transport between silicon and qubit is important when researchers are creating silicone-based, compact-size quantum networks and quantum processors. The idea of those systems is that the data would transfer between qubit and silicone. 

Sometimes researchers created the idea, that the qubit would transfer its data to an electron. That operates as a medium or bridge between those silicon and photonic quantum systems. The idea is that the light and electrons are spinning together. More details about that thing are at link one below this text. (1)

The problem is how to turn photonic qubits into electric signals. One version is the case where the photon is inside the silicon material. Then the trapped photon will turn to superposition and entanglement with the outside photon. That thing is quite difficult to make. Because the system must create quantum entanglement through a silicone layer. That protects qubit from outer effects. Then the differences in brightness of the photons turn into information in the silicone. 

The idea of the data transfer between silicon and photon qubits is based on the things called "T" centers. that is a combination of one hydrogen and two carbon atoms. The benefiting the "T" centers are introduced in link two below this text. (2)

The fact is this. The Quantum revolution continues and when the number of quantum computers is rising their price will get lower. And that means sooner or later the quantum computers with quantum networks are everyday systems that are at all tables. So history repeats itself in quantum computers. At first binary computers existed in large-scale laboratories.

But then the IBM PC (Personal Computer) brought computers to every home. The graphical interfaces made computers easy to use. And the final revolution in computing is the internet. That makes it possible, that everybody can search for information about anything that they want. That means everybody can self-educate to anything that they want. The pocket-size intelligent telephones make it possible that people can search for anything they want, anywhere they want. 

Advanced AI can also help people to find what they want. And it can give pieces of advice on how to make something more effective. The AI can teach things like programming to all people. The well-controlled operating areas like programming where strict rules are the perfect operational area for the AI. 

That is the last revolution in computing. But the revolution of computing is not ended yet. The next step was the quantum computers, and quantum networks and maybe we see the next step, the quantum PC or quantum personal computer sooner than we expect.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
