The second-generation Volkswagen Passat went by the Quantum name in North America (the first-generation Passat was known as the Dasher on these shores) and sold to a small but devoted cadre of American buyers. Here’s one in a Colorado self-serve wrecking yard after a 31-year career in or near the Rocky Mountains. All Quantum Syncros […]
Physicist Suchitra Sebastian speaks with OZY after a monthlong journey along the Silk Route. At one point, she found herself stranded at the Uzbekistan-Kyrgyzstan border, denied entry into Kyrgyzstan. Undeterred, she traveled through the night, attempting to re-enter Kyrgyzstan through Russia and was stopped periodically by rifle-armed guards. Even in her research, Sebastian feels drawn […]
Enlarge (credit: Microsoft) Microsoft today launched a preview version of a new programming language for quantum computing called Q#. The industry giant also launched a quantum simulator that developers can use to test and debug their quantum algorithms. The language and simulator were announced in September. The then-unnamed language was intended to bring traditional programming […]

Quantum encryption is theoretically a dream for security, as you can’t even inspect the data without altering it. However, it’s currently several times slower than the conventional kind, which makes it impractical for voice calls or streaming video. Science may have come to the rescue, though: researchers have developed a quantum encryption key distribution system […]

The version of the browser coming out today has a sleek new interface and, under the hood, major performance enhancements, with Mozilla claiming that […]
Who said light only had to travel in boring waves or particles? Not Harvard. Its researchers have found a way to spin light into complex states that promise breakthroughs in multiple fields. They’ve built metasurfaces whose elaborate optics combine two kinds of light momentum (orbital angular and spin angular) to send light into corkscrews, spirals […]
“Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this […]
