AMD has acquired Enosemi, a startup designing custom materials to support silicon photonics product development. The terms of the deal, announced Wednesday, weren’t disclosed. Silicon photonics uses light — photons — to transmit data, offering a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional electrical communication. AMD and other chipmakers have shown an increasing interest in the tech. Late last year, AMD reportedly teamed up with several Taiwan startups for a silicon photonics R&D coll

A Python implementation of David Deutsch’s Constructor Theory framework, exposing key concepts—from simple Tasks and branching substrates to quantum-gravity and electromagnetism—entirely in code. Includes a “universal constructor” that can bootstrap itself from a list of Tasks, demonstrating self-replication and the power of Constructor Theory. “A demonstration of how constructor theory could be explored in code, not a high-precision physics engine. For the formal definitions, see David Deutsch

Why it matters: Quantum computers promise to tackle problems that stump even the most advanced supercomputers. Getting there is a different story, though. One of the biggest hurdles is efficiently connecting multiple quantum processors so they can share information without errors. A new interconnect device by MIT researchers could solve this problem. Current quantum-computing systems rely on clunky "point-to-point" connections, where data is transferred in a chain and has to jump between nodes.

Manuele Landini from the University of Innsbruck was part of an international team led by researchers at CNR Nanotec in Lecce, Italy, that has demonstrated the emergence of a supersolid phase of matter in a photonic crystal polariton condensate. This pioneering work, published in Nature, introduces a new platform for exploring supersolidity beyond traditional ultracold atomic systems. A supersolid is a rare and counterintuitive phase of matter that uniquely combines the rigidity of a crystal wi

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Most of life’s engines run on sunlight. Photons filter down through the atmosphere and are eagerly absorbed by light-powered organisms such as plants and algae. Through photosynthesis, the particles of light power a cellular reaction that manufactures chemical energy (in the form of sugars), which is then passed around the food web in a complex dance of herbivores, predators, scavengers, decomposers, and more. On a bright, sunny d

Like most of my posts, this one is free and reasonably non-technical; my few premium posts have technical content. (Audio version below.) I considered sending this post back in time to make up for the major delay in publishing it – but I hope that readers with a fair degree of foresight will have looked ahead and seen that it was going to be worth waiting for. This is quite a long read – but its implications are rather important. So I hope you’ll stick with it. To hear an audio version of thi

Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s Gravity Laboratory, alongside student LEGO enthusiasts, have developed unique LEGO-based interferometer kits to make quantum science more accessible and engaging. The kits are designed for secondary and older pupils, embracing a hands-on approach with LEGO bricks that are suitable for classroom use. The fully functional LEGO interferometer sets are designed to replicate professional optical equipment, bridging the gap between abstract concepts of
