Proposed in 2006 by Alexei Kitaev, the Kitaev spin liquid theory proposes the existence of a type of Majorana fermion particle inside it. Once manipulation is possible, a topological quantum computer could be built. This possibility has attracted the attention of experts because of recent... Published Fri, Nov 20, 2020
In a new article, published in the journal Physics Review B (Complexity and Floquet dynamics: non-equilibrium Ising phase transitions), Dr. Giancarlo Camilo (IIP-UFRN), in collaboration with Dr. Daniel Teixeira (IF-USP), present a study on the complexity of the time-dependent circuit...

Several research teams based in the USA have recently published a series of papers that present a new look over the black hole information paradox, claiming that the information that falls into a black hole is not lost, but can escape from... Published Tue, Nov 03, 2020
The LIGO / Virgo collaboration published on October 30, 2020 a new catalog of gravitational waves, totaling 39 new events detected in the last observation run, held between April and October last year.
With this new count, the number of detections made by the collaboration now reaches 50,...  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
