Quantum Computing & Tech ⚛️ on Instagram: "This is not CGI. It’s a single atom. Captured by physicist David Nadlinger, this image shows one strontium atom suspended between two electrodes, held in place by electromagnetic fields inside a vacuum chamber. When blasted with precision lasers, the atom absorbs and re-emits light so strongly that it becomes visible to the naked eye. A fundamental building block of reality, isolated and glowing.

Quantum Computing & Tech ⚛️ on Instagram: "Sean Carroll demonstrates just how deeply strange quantum reality is—using a single photon. In a lab in Geneva, a photon is fired at a partially silvered mirror. According to quantum mechanics, it doesn’t choose a path. It both reflects and passes through at the same time, existing in a superposition of outcomes. Detectors on each path then register the result, creating two distinct physical possibilities. Until a measurement is made, neither outcome is

The suspect in the Dec. 13 mass shooting on the campus of Brown University and the shooting of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro has been identified as 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, who was found dead by suicide inside a Salem, New Hampshire storage unit on Thursday night. A tipster who encountered Valente on a sidewalk outside Brown University and posted about it on Reddit provided crucial information that led to police identifying the suspect.
