As a scientist it is crucial to continue growing and learning as you progress in your field. That being the case, despite a lackluster background in the computer sciences I have come to rely more and more on computational skills in the lab. Ever so slowly the need for a stronger foundation in the tech fields has come to light and I feel woefully behind the times.
Computers are everywhere, whether you like it or not, and artificial intelligence, robotics, and coding are slowly taking over the world. Continue Reading
Nature Physics just published an article on the ‘Strong mechanical driving of a single electron spin’ which deals with the manipulation of a single electron. Computers need to be able to store the values with which they are computing, and quantum computing involves using the spin states of an electron to measure the corresponding 1’s and 0’s needed. Quantum memory registry’s like these are needed to continue the development of this field and the paper just published is a great step forward in that direction. This video released by Nature Physics does a great job of explaining the current breakthroughs.
