Ultra-thin quantum LEDs could accelerate development of quantum networks

April 7, 2017October 7, 2016 by Brian Wang

Researchers have developed all-electrical ultra-thin quantum LEDs, which have potential as on-chip photon sources in quantum information applications, including quantum networks for quantum computers. Ultra-thin quantum light emitting diodes (LEDs) – made of layered materials just a few atoms thick – have been developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. Constructed of layers of …

Russian, Chinese and American military can attack each others satellites, AWACS and refueling to claw out their opponents technological eyes

April 7, 2017September 12, 2016 by Brian Wang

A new generation of Russian and Chinese-built long-range air-to-air missiles could threaten the critical nodes that enable U.S. air operations. Those nodes include the AWACS, various intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) assets, aerial refueling tankers and electronic attack aircraft. Long-range air intercept weapons—coupled with the right fighter could disrupt the ability of the United States …
