The photonic link enables an all-silicon quantum network.



"A single "T" center qubit in the silicon lattice (render), which supports the first single spin to ever be optically observed in silicon. 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.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
