Update: Quantum photosynthesis
Just to underline the post Quantum mechanics in photosynthesis, oh my. there’s another take on the interpretation and significance of the research at Cosmic Variance. Here’s a sample:
We can think about this in terms of Feynman’s way of talking about quantum mechanics: rather than a particle taking a unique path between two points, as [...]
A Golden Ratio found. A clue to quantum symmetry?
There is probably nothing that makes mathematicians and physicists happier than discovering that untidy models resolve into harmonies and order. This may be especially true for the often described as ‘bizarre’ world of quantum physics.
Take a ‘chain’ of cobalt niobate atoms – like a magnetic bar one atom wide. Cool the chain to near [...]

A two-qubit computer
Another step on the way to developing a quantum computer was recently taken with the demonstration of a two-qubit computing processor (previously, one-qubit processors). Much more work will be needed to reduce the error rate of such processors, and eventually to be able to link them together to solve larger (and more interesting) calculation problems, [...]
