Delayed Big Bang for dark matter could be detected in gravitational waves

New constraints on a theory that says dark matter was created just after the Big Bang – rather than at the Big Bang – have been determined by Richard Casey and Cosmin Ilie at Colgate University in the US. The duo calculated the full range of parameters in which a “Dark Big Bang” could fit into the observed history of the universe. They say that evidence of this delayed creation could be found in gravitational waves.


Dark matter is a hypothetical substance that is believed to play an important role in the structure and dynamics of the universe. It appears to account for about 27% of the mass–energy in the cosmos and is part of the Standard Model of cosmology. However, dark matter particles have never been observed directly.

In computing, quantum mechanics is a double-edged sword. While computers that use quantum bits, or qubits, can perform certain operations much faster than their classical counterparts, these qubits only maintain their quantum nature – their superpositions and entanglement – for a limited time. Beyond this so-called coherence time, interactions with the environment, or noise, lead to loss of information and errors. Worse, because quantum states cannot be copied – a consequence of quantum mechanics known as the no-cloning theorem – or directly observed without collapsing the state, correcting these errors requires more sophisticated strategies than the simple duplications used in classical computing.

Orbital angular momentum monopoles appear in a chiral crystal

 

Orbital angular momentum monopoles appear in a chiral crystal

23 Oct 2024 Isabelle Dumé



Monopoles of orbital angular momentum (OAM) are a tantalizing prospect for orbitronics because OAM is uniform in all directions. This would mean that information flows could be generated in any direction. Visualizing the orbital texture is almost like capturing an image of the OAM monopoles. (Courtesy: Paul Scherrer Institute / Monika Bletry)

Magnets generally have two poles, north and south, so observing something that behaves like it has only one is extremely unusual. Physicists in Germany and Switzerland have become the latest to claim this rare accolade by making the first direct detection of structures known as orbital angular momentum monopoles. The monopoles, which the team identified in materials known as chiral crystals, had previously only been predicted in theory. The discovery could aid the development of more energy-efficient memory devices.

Traditional electronic devices use the charge of electrons to transfer energy and information. This transfer process is energy-intensive, however, so scientists are looking for alternatives. One possibility is spintronics, which uses the electron’s spin rather than its charge, but more recently another alternative has emerged that could be even more promising. Known as orbitronics, it exploits the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of electrons as they revolve around an atomic nucleus. By manipulating this OAM, it is in principle possible to generate large magnetizations with very small electric currents – a property that could be used to make energy-efficient memory devices.

Negative triangularity tokamaks: a power plant plasma solution from the core to the edge?

 

Negative triangularity tokamaks: a power plant plasma solution from the core to the edge?

22 Oct 2024 Sponsored by Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion


Available to watch now, IOP Publishing’s journal, Plasma Science and Technologies explores the knowns and unknowns of negative triangularity and evaluate its future as a power plant solution

The webinar is directly linked with a special issue of Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion on Advances in the Physics Basis of Negative Triangularity Tokamaks; featuring contributions from all of the speakers, and many more papers from the leading groups researching this fascinating topic.


Want to learn more on this subject?


In recent years the fusion community has begun to focus on the practical engineering of tokamak power plants. From this, it became clear that the power exhaust problem, extracting the energy produced by fusion without melting the plasma-facing components, is just as important and challenging as plasma confinement. To these ends, negative triangularity plasma shaping holds unique promise.

Conceptually, negative triangularity is simple. Take the standard positive triangularity plasma shape, ubiquitous among tokamaks, and flip it so that the triangle points inwards. By virtue of this change in shape, negative triangularity plasmas have been experimentally observed to dramatically improve energy confinement, sometimes by more than a factor of two. Simultaneously, the plasma shape is also found to robustly prevent the transition to the improved confinement regime H-mode. While this may initially seem a drawback, the confinement improvement can enable negative triangularity to still achieve similar confinement to a positive triangularity H-mode. In this way, it robustly avoids the typical difficulties of H-mode: damaging edge localized modes (ELMs) and the narrow scrape-off layer (SOL) width. This is the promise of negative triangularity, an elegant and simple path to alleviating power exhaust while preserving plasma confinement.

Multi-qubit entangled states boost atomic clock and sensor performance

Frequency measurements using multi-qubit entangled states have been performed by two independent groups in the US. These entangled states have correlated errors, resulting in measurement precisions better than the standard quantum limit. One team is based in Colorado and it measured the frequency of an atomic clock with greater precision than possible using conventional methods. The other group is in California and it showed how entangled states could be used in quantum sensing.


Atomic clocks are the most accurate timekeeping devices we have. They work by locking an ultraprecise, frequency comb laser to a narrow linewidth transition in an atom. The higher the transition’s frequency, the faster the clock ticks and the more precisely it can keep time. The clock with the best precision today is operated by Jun Ye’s group at JILA in Boulder, Colorado and colleagues. After running for the age of the universe, this clock would only be wrong by 0.01 s.

Electronic devices that seamlessly interface with living tissues hold potential to revolutionize disease diagnosis and treatment. But integrating electronics with the human body is a tricky task, due to mechanical incompatibilities between rigid metallic materials and soft biological tissues.

To address this challenge, Bozhi Tian and colleagues at the University of Chicago have created “living bioelectronics” designed to capture physiological signals and deliver targeted treatments. The team’s ABLE (active biointegrated living electronics) platform combines thin, flexible sensor circuitry with an ultrasoft, tissue-mimicking hydrogel made from tapioca starch and gelatin. The final ingredient is the addition of living cells into the gel, in this case Staphylococcus epidermidis, a bacterium that naturally lives on human skin and secretes compounds that regulate inflammation.

Physicists in Germany have used visible light to measure intramolecular distances smaller than 10 nm thanks to an advanced version of an optical fluorescence microscopy technique called MINFLUX. The technique, which has a precision of just 1 angstrom (0.1 nm), could be used to study biological processes such as interactions between proteins and other biomolecules inside cells.

Two independent studies suggest that the brown dwarf Gliese 229 B is not a single object, but rather a pair of brown dwarfs. The two teams reached this conclusion in different ways, with one using a combination of instruments at the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, and the other taking advantage of the extreme resolution of the infrared spectra measured by the Keck Observatory in Hawaii.

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are prime candidates for dark matter – but the hypothetical particles have never been observed directly. Now, an international group of physicists has proposed a connection between WIMPs and the higher-than-expected flux of antimatter cosmic rays detected by NASA’s Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) on the International Space Station.

Axion clouds around neutron stars could reveal dark matter origins

Cloudy with a chance of axions: An axion cloud around a neutron star. While some axions escape the star’s gravitational pull, many remain bound to the star. Over a long period of time, a cloud of axions forms and interacts with the neutron star's strong magnetic field. This causes some axions to convert into radiofrequency photons that telescopes on Earth could detect. (Courtesy: University of Amsterdam)

Hypothetical particles called axions could form dense clouds around neutron stars – and if they do, they will give off signals that radio telescopes can detect, say researchers in the Netherlands, the UK and the US. Since axions are a possible candidate for the mysterious substance known as dark matter, this finding could bring us closer to understanding it.

An unseen low-mass companion star may be responsible for the recently observed “Great Dimming” of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse. According to this hypothesis, which was put forward by researchers in the US and Hungary, the star’s apparent brightness varies when an orbiting companion – dubbed α Ori B or, less formally, “Betelbuddy” – displaces light-blocking dust, thereby changing how much of Betelgeuse’s light reaches the Earth.

Σπουδαία (και τυχαία) επιβεβαίωση: Η κβαντική διεμπλοκή καταστρέφεται στις υψηλές θερμοκρασίες 


Σχεδόν έναν αιώνα πριν, ο Φυσικός Erwin Schrödinger επέστησε την προσοχή σε μια ιδιαιτερότητα του κβαντικού κόσμου που γοητεύει και ενοχλεί τους ερευνητές έκτοτε. Όταν κβαντικά σωματίδια όπως τα άτομα αλληλεπιδρούν, αποβάλλουν τις ατομικές τους ταυτότητες υπέρ μιας συλλογικής κατάστασης που είναι μεγαλύτερη και πιο παράξενη από το άθροισμα των μερών της. Το φαινόμενο αυτό ονομάζεται κβαντική διεμπλοκή (ή εναγκαλισμός αν θέλετε).

Οι ερευνητές έχουν μια σαφή κατανόηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο λειτουργεί η διεμπλοκή σε εξιδανικευμένα συστήματα που περιέχουν λίγα μόνο σωματίδια. Αλλά ο πραγματικός κόσμος είναι πιο περίπλοκος.

NASA is seeking alternative designs for its Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, which is meant to bring back soil and rocks gathered by the agency’s Perseverance rover. But with the MSR beset by cost hikes and delays, NASA concedes that the current design is “too expensive” and that its aim of returning material by 2040 is “unacceptably too long”.

A partnership between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), the MSR is designed to return samples collected by Perseverance since 2021 at the Jezera crater on Mars.

THE EXISTENCE OF NEGATIVE MASS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES IN OUR WORLD

 THE EXISTENCE OF NEGATIVE MASS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES IN OUR WORLD

Introduction

Negative mass is a concept that has fascinated scientists and researchers for many years. While negative mass may seem counterintuitive, it has important implications for our understanding of the universe and the laws of physics. In this essay, we will explore the concept of negative mass, its potential existence, and the consequences it could have in our world.

What is Negative Mass?

In classical physics, mass is a property of matter that determines its resistance to acceleration. We are most familiar with positive mass –the mass we encounter in everyday objects such as apples, cars, and planets. Negative mass, on the other hand, is a hypothetical concept in which mass is assigned a negative value.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON—Iran on Wednesday, Sept. 4, said it would take another step away from a 2015 nuclear deal by starting to develop centrifuges to speed up its uranium enrichment. Still, it also gave European powers two more months to save the multilateral pact.


Separately, the United States refused to ease its reinstated economic sanctions on Iran, imposed fresh ones designed to choke off the smuggling of Iranian oil, and rebuffed, but did not rule out, a French plan to give Tehran a $15 billion credit line.

Collapse of the Wave Function

 Collapse of the Wave Function

Why is it that more than half of the modern "interpretations of quantum mechanics deny the "collapse of the wave function."

Why are so many severe physicists and philosophers of science so unhappy with this concept, which was a fundamental part of the "orthodox" theory proposed in the late 1920s by the "founders" of quantum mechanics - Werner HeisenbergNiels BohrMax BornPaul DiracWolfgang Pauli, and Pascual Jordan.

We can give the most straightforward answer in a single word - chanceAlbert Einstein, the foremost scientist of all time (and ironically the discoverer of chance in quantum mechanics, which he disliked but never denied was a part of the quantum theory, as far as it could go in his time) adamantly disliked the idea of "uncertainty" or "indeterminism," the thought that some things in the universe were not caused (or only statistically caused).

The idea of the wave function in quantum mechanics and its indeterministic collapse during a measurement is undoubtedly the most controversial problem in physics today. Of the several “interpretations” of quantum mechanics, more than half deny the collapse of the wave function. Some of these deny quantum jumps and even the existence of particles!

This pandemic-blighted year isn’t going to top anyone’s list of favourites, but looking on the bright side for a moment, 2020 has seen some remarkable advances in quantum science and technology. Here are a few of the highlights from subfields ranging from quantum fundamentals to quantum computing.

How precise can a thermometer be? In January, Jukka Pekkola, Bayan Karimi and colleagues at the University of Aalto, Finland, and Lund University in Sweden found the answer by building a nanoscale device that can detect fundamental fluctuations in the electron temperature of a sample. The noise level in their thermometer is so low that they could detect the energy change due to the emission of a single microwave photon – all without disturbing the system. Being able to spot such tiny temperature changes could enable advances in fundamental physics, and this “quantum calorimeter” might also be used to make non-invasive measurements of quantum systems such as qubits in superconducting quantum computers.

The wavefunction and Schrödinger equation are fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics that have revolutionized our understanding of the microscopic world. In this essay, we will explore the wavefunction and Schrödinger equation, their significance, and how they explain the behavior of particles in the real world.

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels. It is a highly successful theory verified through numerous experiments and led to the development of technologies such as transistors, lasers, and MRI machines. At the heart of quantum mechanics is the concept of the wavefunction, which describes the probability amplitude of finding a particle at a particular location in space and time.

What do we know about dark matter and dark energy in our Universe?

What do we know about dark matter and dark energy in our Universe?


Dark matter and energy are our Universe's most mysterious and fascinating components. Despite their enigmatic nature, scientists have made significant progress in understanding these elusive substances and their role in the cosmos.

Let's start by discussing dark matter, a hypothetical form of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible and undetectable by conventional means. The existence of dark matter was first proposed by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky in the 1930s, who noticed discrepancies in the rotational speeds of galaxies that could not be explained by visible matter alone. Since then, numerous lines of evidence from various astrophysical observations have supported the existence of dark matter.

One of the most compelling evidence for dark matter is the study of galaxy clusters. By observing the gravitational effects of these massive structures on the light emitted by distant galaxies, astronomers have been able to infer the presence of vast amounts of unseen mass. The most widely accepted explanation for this additional mass is that it consists of dark matter, which interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter but does not emit any detectable radiation.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE ATON AND THE NUCLEUS AND HOW STABLE IS THE NUCLEUS ACCORDING TO QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS

 THE STRUCTURE OF THE ATON AND THE NUCLEUS AND HOW STABLE IS THE NUCLEUS ACCORDING TO QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS


The structure of the atom and the nucleus is a fundamental topic in physics, specifically in quantum mechanics and quantum chromodynamics. Atoms are the building blocks of matter, composed of a nucleus at the center surrounded by electrons in orbitals. The nucleus, in turn, comprises protons and neutrons, which are further composed of quarks held together by the strong nuclear force mediated by gluons. Understanding the atom's structure and the nucleus's stability is crucial to comprehend the physical world at its most fundamental level.

The uncertainty principle and its importance in quantum mechanics and the stability of atoms in nuclear physics

 The uncertainty principle and its importance in quantum mechanics and the stability of atoms in nuclear physics

 

The uncertainty principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics introduced by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927. It states that there is a limit to how precisely specific physical properties, such as position and momentum, can be known simultaneously. This principle has profound implications for our understanding of the behavior of particles at the quantum level and plays a crucial role in the stability of atoms in nuclear physics.

In classical physics, it is possible to measure the position and momentum of a particle with arbitrary precision. However, in the realm of quantum mechanics, the situation is different.

 The Compton Effect and Its Importance in Quantum Mechanics: Applications in Science and Modern Technology



Introduction:

The Compton Effect, also known as Compton Scattering, is a fundamental phenomenon in quantum mechanics that plays a significant role in understanding the behavior of light and matter at the atomic and subatomic levels. Discovered by American physicist Arthur Compton in 1923, this effect provides valuable insights into the nature of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with matter. This article will explore the Compton Effect in detail, discussing its fundamental principles, significance in quantum mechanics, and various applications in science and modern technology.

Principles of the Compton Effect:

The Compton Effect is a consequence of the wave-particle duality of light, which is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics. According to this principle, electromagnetic radiation, such as light, exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties. In the case of the Compton Effect, light is treated as a stream of particles called photons, each carrying a specific amount of energy and momentum.

Europe’s new head of fusion wants European nations to work on a demonstration fusion reactor at the same time as building the ITER experimental fusion facility in southern France. Ambrogio Fasoli, who took over in January as head of EUROfusion, says that work on such a device will require closely collaborating with the private fusion industry. EUROfusion is a consortium of 28 fusion labs bringing together 4800 researchers from across Europe.

Iron atoms at the centre of the Earth move much faster than was previously thought, say researchers in the US and China. The findings, which are based on machine-learning-assisted simulations of conditions in the Earth’s solid inner core, could shed fresh light on the core’s seismic and geodynamic properties, which are not fully understood.
