QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

-

 

Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency.

Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time.

Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical quantum computing and quantum communication.

Quantum memories are devices that can store the quantum state of a photon, without ruin the volatile quantum information carried by the photon. It is one such field where mapping of the quantum state of light onto a group of atoms and then restoring it to its original state. The quantum memory should be able to release a photon with the same quantum state where the photon is stored, after a duration set by the user.

Quantum memories require a methodical matter system; otherwise, the quantum information stored inside the medium will be lost due to nonlinearities. Rare-earth-ion (RE) doped crystals are highly fascinating matter systems for quantum memories, as they own their unique optical and spin coherence properties at low temperatures (around 4 K).

Quantum memory schemes can be broken down into four distinct categories: single-photon memory, general state memory, memories that emit photons that can be measured directly, and memories that emit photons that are measured through retrieval. The type of memory to use depends on the needs of the experiment, namely the qualities of the photons that are to be stored.

Quantum memories will be proof as important components in future quantum networks, such as quantum repeaters which can provide a solution for long-distance quantum communication beyond the limit of 500 km using today's technology.

The AFC technique can store quantum information in a highly time-multiplexed fashion, which is helping to build the quantum repeaters for future quantum networks.

In addition to future applications, quantum memories are fascinating because they provide a way to study how quantum effects such as attachment can be transferred between physical systems of widely different nature, e.g. between light and matter systems.

Due to the continuously growing natality rate, increased availability of healthcare and food production has led to decreased mortality and further proliferated, population outburst on earth. This has caused strain on the energy sources and thereafter there has been an endless search for the most convenient, fast, and long-lasting method of renewable source of energy. According to the sources, from 2011 to 2021, renewable energy has grown from 20% to 28% of the global electricity supply. Fossil energy shrank from 68% to 62%, and nuclear from 12% to 10%. The share of hydropower decreased from 16% to 15% while power from sun and wind increased from 2% to 10%. Biomass and geothermal energy grew from 2% to 3% . Among many energy sources, Biomass can be one of the most trusted renewable energy sources, due to its abundance of availability present in nature. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol (which comes from corn or other plant

PHISHING ATTACKS IN INDIA

-
What do mean by phishing ?  Phishing is a type of online fraud when con artists pretend to be reputable companies or organizations in order to deceive victims into giving up personal information like passwords or credit card details. Phishing efforts can take the shape of emails, websites, or even text messages, and can appear authentic at first glance. A phishing attempt can be identified in a number of ways, including misspellings, odd syntax, and sudden requests for personal information. Do not respond to the message if you believe you are being targeted by a phisher; instead, report the incident to the relevant authorities. Phishing in India !!!! India is a vast and developing country. Digitalization is being done at a speedy rate. This brings a lot of ease for the general public but also creates a pool of opportunities for scammers, hackers, and con men. As per an article by Times of India Between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2022, clients lost roughly 1500 crores in these scams.
