$The study establishes increasingly stringent upper limits on the cross-section for interactions between dark matter and baryonic matter-represented by the parameter $σ\_0$-with projections indicating that a five-year mission will significantly refine these bounds, potentially surpassing current constraints derived from cosmic microwave background observations, though sensitivity remains dependent on galactic population parameters.$

An upcoming 21cm cosmology experiment, Hongmeng, promises to sharpen our search for interactions between dark matter and ordinary matter.

Quantum States Over the Wire: A Smarter Way to Send Information

05.12.2025 by pricpr

Success probability demonstrates a clear relationship with the number of transmitted bits across several coding schemes-specifically, STT-UEP with code rates of 0.4 and 1, STT-CC, and CQCR utilizing quantization resolutions of 2, 4, and 8 bits-and all schemes are compared fairly by ensuring a consistent total number of transmitted bits.

Researchers have developed a new communication protocol that efficiently transmits the key properties of quantum states, even when using imperfect classical channels.

Beyond Quantum Mystery: How Exclusion Reveals Hidden Connections

$The system delineates state exclusions based on paired multi-source configurations, revealing that states are consistently grouped into four distinct sets-yellow and red representing configurations $S_A, X_A, S_B, X_B$ constrained to {(0,0),(1,0)} and {(0,0),(1,1)} respectively, while green and blue represent configurations constrained to {(0,1),(1,0)} and {(0,1),(1,1)}, demonstrating a structured categorization of possible system states through exclusionary relationships.$

New research demonstrates that definitively ruling out certain quantum states exposes fundamental conflicts with classical notions of causality and locality.
