Quantum entanglement over 1,200 km to be studied by China’s first quantum communication satellite

Amid the intense preparations for the launch of China’s first quantum communication satellite, scientists hope it can help unravel one of the strangest phenomena in quantum physics — quantum entanglement.

By beaming individual entangled photons between space and ground stations, the satellite should be able to test whether the quantum’s entanglement property extends over the record-breaking distance, Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.

“We have the technology to produce pairs of entangled photons on the satellite,” said Pan Jianwei from the Chinese Academy of Science and chief scientist at the Chinese quantum communication satellite project. One photon of an entangled pair will be beamed to a station in Qinghai province and the other to a station in Yunnan.

The distance between the two ground stations is about 1,200 km. Quantum physics has a phenomenon that so confounded Albert Einstein that he described as “spooky action at a distance” in 1948.

The Evolution of Communication Technology

written by Rajdeep

Even before the emergence of technology, communication has been at the forefront of relationship building and business development. The changes in communication technology over the last four decades have been revolutionary. Now with more millennials in the workforce than baby boomers, the way we work and communicate with one another is changing. Ray Tomlinson’s recent passing further reminds us of how far communication has come since he founded email in 1971 and reset the standard of how we talk to each other.

Today, newer advancements like texting and messaging apps have spurred even more efficiency within workplace communication. We have come a long way since the days of written letters and memos. Even email has become a secondary form of communication in the workplace as chat platforms are taking over. In this slideshow, Kore, a bots-based messaging platform, presents mile.

Communication Is the Big Focus for Nintendo’s Miitomo App

Communication Is the Big Focus for Nintendo's Miitomo App

Earlier in the year, fans and investors alike were taken by surprise when Nintendo announced it would be making mobile games in collaboration with DeNA.

Nintendo’s president Tatsumi Kimishima said it needed more time to “boost the quality” of its first smartphone offering, called Miitomo, and would not launch it until March – after initially aiming for the end of this year. Speaking to The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, DeNA President Isao Moriyasudivulged more information on what to expect from the maiden collaborative attempt between the companies.

For starters, expect the focus to be clearly on communication over anything else.

“Communication will be central to the game, but I think various elements could be added on– like mini-games users can play with their friends,” said Mr. Moriyasu.

Like most mobile apps nowadays, there will be in-app purchases – something Moriyasu shed more light on.

“As for monetising, there are various possibilities, but at first we plan on selling clothes users can buy for their Miis,” he said.

“Miitomo places more emphasis on entertainment. The process of discovering new aspects of your friends via Miis can be quite fun. One distinct aspect of Miitomo is how you can configure your Mii to have it look very similar to yourself,”he said.

“Communicating with friends who actually look like your friends in real life is a distinctly different feeling from text-based communication. We’re thinking of linking the game with users’ Facebook friend lists. I think it could be fun connecting with friends people don’t often communicate with,” Moriyasu added.

It appears to be an interesting spin on the tried and tested messaging apps we’ve been accustomed or rather, conditioned to. However, since this is Nintendo’s first stab at mobile and DeNA has a reputation for pushing in-app purchases, it would be wise to temper expectations when it hits in March.
