Film Review: Cannon Arm and the Arcade Quest is a love letter to chasing high scores – Irish Examiner
Posted: June 30, 2022 at 9:29 pm
Cannon Arm and the Arcade Quest (15A) is an offbeat documentary from Danish director Mads Hedegaard that follows Kim Kanoin (aka Cannon Arm) as he attempts to break the world record for playing the arcade video game Gyruss without a break.
The plan, which requires the help of all Kims arcade game-obsessed friends to work, is for Kim to play Gyruss for 100 hours a mind-boggling effort in prospect, although Kim has previously clocked up 47 hours straight. It all sounds like an exercise in Sisyphean futility: Kim is so good that he finds himself negotiating countless repetitions of a spaceship blasting enemies out of existence but the film is chock-a-block with fascinating characters.
Kim himself is a monosyllabic grandfather still sporting a 70s-style ponytail, and his friends are a diverse group whose specialisations poetry, engineering, Bach, quantum physics all play their part in Kims quest.
Its kinda like Rocky, observes one of the friends, alluding to Kims refusal to be beaten, and while its not remotely akin to anything like Rocky, Cannon Arm is still an absorbingly Quixotic story of enduring friendship.

Why is Sangh Parivar engaged in rewriting history? – Deccan Herald
Posted: at 9:29 pm
If one watches India's prime-time debates on the television channels or the internet, or even if one only reads news articles posted online and elsewhere, one is quite frequently confronted with the word 'narrative'.
Those who oppose the incumbent powers firmly believe they are indulging in a massive rewriting of history, obscuring facts not palatable to them and highlighting figures and events conducive to their agenda.
On the contrary, those in support of the ruling dispensation claim that their emphasis is only on "correcting" historical wrongs, which involves highlighting facts hitherto un-published, and demeaning facts which they see as instances of "historical injustice".
To an objective observer, the best route to understand who is in the more rationally or perhaps ethically justified position is to understand how history is written.
Ideally, history is written by academicians and scholars, who go through a rigorous process of peer review of their theories and accounts before they get published. How clean and transparent this review process is determining how factual any historical narrative is. In other words, the scientific method of observation, experiment and cataloguing is what dictates the global narratives of history. This hasn't been the case throughout most of history. Before the scientific revolution, history was taught more through anecdotes, i.e. personal reflection on the part of the individual scholar, and stories, i.e. fictionalised accounts of historical memories and narratives, were the order of the day when it came to the accounts of history. That is precisely the reason why the Mahabharata has references to events and entities that are considered 'impossible' by today's scientific standards. In other words, the distinction between story and history is not as old as a nave observer may assume.
Returning to the present, the attempt to revise history must be seen in the light of how the scientific method of chronological record-making proceeds. For this, a brief exposition of the scientific method itself is necessary.
The scientific method, developed not by scientists so much as by philosophers like Karl Popper, Quine, etc., is based on experimental observation and validation. In other words, what cannot be validated through observation is not considered science. Measurement or observation is key to the process here. That which cannot be substantiated through references, citations, and archaeological proofs is not considered history today.
The historical accounts of figures like Lord Ram, Prophet Muhammad, Jesus Christ, the Buddha, Arjun, Bhim or other characters in some of the great Indian epics have not been conceived on these lines. Why is this so? Did the historians of yesteryears have some insight into observation and measurement that today's 'scientific-minded' historians lack? Or was society intellectually very backward in that era - even during the days of Nalanda and Taxila, that they couldn't distinguish between fact and fiction?
A key to solving this mystery is in understanding the word measurement - a euphemism for observation in textbooks of modern science, especially those of theoretical physics pertaining to the quantum or sub-atomic realm of matter. In modern science, according to the most popular and accepted Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, introduced to the world by Neils Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, pioneers of quantum physics, measurement is not an act separate from the one who is observing. In other words, although not many people seem to be aware of this, an act of observation is dependent on the person observing. There are no facts independent of the person checking them, just as there is no person independent of the environment he is surrounded with.
This does not mean that we can alter things by looking at them. It means that any scientific knowledge or any perception for that matter shows us not what things are but only shows us how we see things. In simpler words, any theory or piece of knowledge we acquire tells us more about ourselves and our own manners of perception rather than the thing perceived by us. In most crude language, anything we see, hear, taste, smell, feel, touch, or perceive in any possible manner, does not show us reality, but rather it shows us our brains perceiving reality.
Bringing us back to History and the battle of narratives being fought out on our television sets, computer screens and smartphones, what is the measurement or observation of a historical fact? Are the individual historians observing or researching a fact and modifying it while checking it? Are the institutions of historical scholarship and academia co-creating facts when they peer-review each other's research and publish only what is personally acceptable to their club, so to speak?
It could indeed be that historians are subconsciously or perhaps consciously changing history while observing it and that the 'clubs' of academic scholarship are being run by those who wish to dictate historical narratives based on their own self-defined notions of academic superiority and scholarship, which would even dictate what counts as 'proof'.
BJP loyalists, pejoratively called 'Bhakts' and 'Andh-Bhakts' by their opponents, might actually have a point when they question the validity of the erstwhile mainstream historical narrative or account. It is just that they're firing their bullets at the wrong target. Instead of focusing on "rewriting" while peddling it as "rediscovering" history, it would be more suitable for them to question the validity of historical narratives as being objective per se, with an as unbiased and non-political approach as possible.
In other words, we are indeed living in a 'post-truth' world, as those who keep shouting the words 'false narrative' to counter another person's point of view might have realised. But the point of realising that truth or at least knowledge is subjective is not to challenge the other person's subjectivity with one's own subjectivity, whether one supports the left, right or centre. It is to realise that we all live in our own subjective perceptual fields, which should ideally make us respect our opponent's point of view more and try to listen and learn from it. The truth will only emerge from a discussion between those who oppose and respect each other. It will not emerge from realising on the one hand that knowledge is relative and subjective and then immediately imposing this subjectivity upon another who we also acknowledge as being equally subjective.
Democracy is based on disagreement and reconciliation, not in self-imposed intellectual contradiction and forced imposition of this ailment upon others. If that were so, then we would all be mentally ill, and the whole world would be a 19th-century lunatic asylum, with no one fully communicating with anyone else, except that, in this case, even the healers and nurses would be patients with us, which is not a fantasy many of us would like to indulge in.

New York, New York, June 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Recently,QTKT is now listed on Nexxico.com as aninitial coin offering (ICO), aimed to raise money fromfirst to early investors, The token will then be released in the public market.Nexxico.com was first launched in 2022, As an emerging exchange, Nexxico.com heavily vet projects before they are allowed on the platform to ensure that only the highest quality projects get access to their community of investors.
The platform is cross-chain and allows projects to be raised across multiple networks such as Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.
Whats behind Quantum Key Token?
Quantum cryptography, also called quantum encryption, is used in QTKT, it applies the principles of quantum mechanics to encrypt messages in a way that is never read by anyone outside of the intended recipient. It takes advantage of quantums multiple states, coupled with its "no change theory," which means it cannot be unknowingly interrupted.
The notion that a quantum computer might someday break bitcoin is quickly gaining ground. Thats because quantum computers are becoming powerful enough to factor large prime numbers, a critical component of bitcoins public key cryptography. Within a decade, quantum computing is expected to be able to hack into cell phones, bank accounts, email addresses, and bitcoin wallets.
Right now, much of the world runs on something called asymmetric cryptography, in which individuals use a private and public key pair to access things such as email and crypto-wallets. QTKT provides a higher level of security than asymmetric cryptography, it applies Quantum key distribution, it is a method of sending encryption keys using some very peculiar behaviors of subatomic particles that are in theory at least, completely unhackable. The land-based version of Quantum key distribution is a system where photons are sent one at a time through a fiber optic line. If anyone is eavesdropping, then, according to the principles of quantum physics, the polarization of the photons is affected, and the recipient can tell that the message isnt secure.

Physicist Says There’s a Small Chance You’ll Wake Up on Mars Tomorrow Due to Quantum Physics – Futurism
Posted: at 11:31 am
"Theres a tiny but calculable likelihood that our quantum wave will tunnel its way through space-time and wind up [on Mars]."Wave Rider
Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku says he often gives his students a particular thought experiment: to calculate the probability that they wake up on Mars tomorrow, due to the vagaries of the theory of multiple universes.
Though the question seems decidedly wacky, Kaku writes in a New York Times column about the wondrous intrigue of quantum physics, which pits the possible versus the likely.
"Quantum theory," Kaku writes, "is based on what is known as Heisenbergs uncertainty principle, allowing for a small probability that we can exist even on distant places like Mars."
Given this principle, "theres a tiny but calculable likelihood that our quantum wave will tunnel its way through space-time and wind up there."
The reality, as the physicist writes, is that "when you do the calculation, you find that for [you to wake up on Mars], youd have to wait longer than the lifetime of the universe."
But there's still a chance. Using a series of beautifully simple metaphors, Kaku reinforces his belief that reality is, paraphrasing the British geneticist J.B.S. Haldane, "not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."
It's incredibly improbable, in other words, that you are going to wake up on Mars tomorrow.And if you did, the extreme cold and lack of a breathable atmosphere would pose grim new challenges.
But as Kaku notes, unlikely doesn't mean impossible which is why quantum physics, and its quest to explain the origins of the universe down to the level quantum uncertainty, makes all the difference in the worlds that exist, have existed, or could exist in the future.

What Quantum Batteries Have in Store – SemiEngineering
Posted: at 11:31 am
Quantum battery technology is approaching an inflection point similar to the one quantum computing crossed a decade or so ago, escalating it from a theoretical curiosity to an engineering challenge worth solving.
Quantum batteries exploit the strange physical laws of the very small the quantum world to gain performance advantages over classical batteries. Recent research on charging speed advantages and loss-free storage suggests this technology is poised for growth over the next three to five years.
The quantum world is probabilistic rather than deterministic, and that applies to quantum batteries as well as quantum computers. If, for example, an energy-storage unit exhibits either a ground state or an excited state in the classical world, it acts instead as a smearing of both in the quantum world, which can be described with probability functions.
Similarly, the likelihood that the same unit transitions between states also can be defined with a probability function. This function is known as a transition amplitude, and it is key to explaining why quantum batteries offer the advantages they do.
An Australian-Italian-UK research group published a paper in the journal Science Advances this year about photosensitive dye molecules, known as Lumogen-F Orange, which can be used as storage units. The researchers confined these units, in groups of varying sizes, in an optical microcavity a quantum battery prototype and measured the rate at which photons were able to excite the various groups.
I saw the potential in what (quantum batteries) could do if someone could realize this in a lab, said James Quach, who conceived and managed the project. I wanted to take it from the blackboard out into the laboratory.
Acting as quantum units, each dye molecule had its own transition amplitude describing the probability it would transition from a ground state to an excited state.
Superextensive ChargingThe magic of quantum batteries emerged when the dye molecules transition amplitudes were allowed to interfere with each other.
The way that quantum batteries work is that these transition amplitudes, when you put them in a coherent state, interfere with each other very much in the way that waves interfere with each other, and produce crests when they constructively interfere and troughs when theyre destructive, said Quach. Through this constructive interference, the combined transition amplitude of the whole system was greater than the sum of the individual parts if they werent acting as one.
In contrast, the fastest way to deliver energy into a battery in the classical world is through a parallel charging configuration, where every cell is charged simultaneously. The batterys charging speed, in this setup, is limited by how fast a single cell can charge.
What Quachs team found in their quantum demonstration was that the interference allowed the battery as a whole to charge faster than a classical parallel setup. Even better, they found charging speed to be superextensive, meaning it increased as more and more dye molecules storage units were added to the battery.
The microcavity setup physically demonstrated, for the first time, superextensive energy absorption superabsorption a phenomenon that Quach says can benefit everything from small-scale consumer electronics to electric vehicles and grid-scale storage systems.
Hurdles and boundsJust where the limits of this superextensive speed lie has been the subject of interest of Juyeon Kim at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Daejeon, Korea. Last year, Kim and fellow researchers Dominik Safranek and Dario Rosa published a paper in Physical Review Letters quantifying the bounds of the quantum charging advantage the ratio of quantum charging speed versus classical charging speed.
I wanted to make a very tight bound for the expected power for the general case, said Kim. In classical batteries, the power increases with the number of cells in parallel. But in quantum batteries, we can make the power increase with the square of the number of cells.
In practice, however, Quachs team found their batterys charging speed could only scale with the square root of N, a difference that warrants a deeper look into the implementation options for quantum batteries.
The charging advantages of these devices arise from an effect known as collective charging, where a batterys units genuinely share the batterys power source in a way, communicate with each other instead of the every-cell-for-itself strategy of classical batteries.
Collective charging is kind of a shortcut, said Kim. We can separate the cells (in a classical setup) and theres no other effect. But in the quantum battery, we cannot separate the cells if we want the quantum advantage, if we want collective charging.
Quantum batteries can leverage one of two quantum phenomena to implement collective charging quantum entanglement or quantum coherence.
Quantum entanglement, which Albert Einstein dubbed spooky action at a distance, existentially links particles together, allowing them to behave as a single unit despite physical separation. Although Kims team focused on entanglement in their paper in quantifying quantum advantage, they also acknowledged its fragility.
Entanglement is very easily broken down by the environment and notoriously difficult to maintain, said Kim. Quantum computers, for example, tend to operate at temperatures near absolute zero in pursuit of entanglement longevity.
Quach, for this reason, saw more practicality down the coherence route, even if it offered less of a quantum advantage. While quantum coherence also is susceptible to collapse, it maintains stability better than entanglement, even at room temperatures.
Furthermore, in addition to superabsorption, the optical cavity prototype demonstrated that decoherence, if applied judiciously to a quantum battery, can help control its storage and discharge phases. Or put in perspective, a little bit of a bad thing actually might be good.
If I charge the battery very quickly, because quantum mechanics is time-symmetric, it should discharge very quickly, explained Quach. But decoherence makes this asymmetric, which means you can charge it quickly, but then it will discharge very slowly with decoherence.
Loss-free storageScientists from the University of Alberta, in partnership with the University of Toronto, published research in 2019 that detailed such symmetry-breaking perturbations and how quantum batteries might use them to enter dark states and achieve loss-free energy storage.
The use of symmetry-protected dark states effectively decouples the battery from its environments, making it possible to perfectly store the excitation energy, stated the Journal of Physical Chemistry C paper. In contrast to conventional electrochemical batteries, the charged excitonic quantum battery does not discharge over time in the presence of environments, a remarkable feature stemming from the quantum nature of the system.
The research studied, as its quantum battery prototype, a para-benzene-like structure that accumulated excitons, and subjected the structure to numerical simulations that demonstrated immunity to environmentally-induced losses.
A possible inflectionThe loss-free paper, one of the first to explore quantum batteries in a dissipative environment, and the real-world optical cavity demonstration, may herald a shift in how researchers approach the technology.
Traditionally, because this was always the simplest way out, most of the works that dealt with quantum batteries initially dealt with isolated quantum systems, meaning subsystems that did not interact with the environment, said Juzar Thingna, quantum thermodynamics researcher at the University of Massachusetts. The goal was rather simplistic.
Dissipative environments, however, represent real situations much more than those idealistic situations where the quantum system were fully isolated, Thingna said. The change in focus toward how these devices will interact with their parent systems suggests the field is moving closer to reality.
Another cause for shift, said Quach, is recognizing that the problems facing quantum batteries differ from those facing quantum computers, and how this recognition may help fast track quantum batteries to commercial applications.
Any sort of decoherence in quantum computing [ruins it], he said. It just doesnt work. And thats the challenge (for quantum computing). But decoherence is a good thing for quantum batteries and, because of this, the big hurdle for quantum computing doesnt apply for quantum batteries. In a sense, it is much easier than quantum computing, but it has started a lot later.
ApplicationsSo why go quantum? asked Thingna. If a classical battery is just working fine, why do I need to go quantum? Its storing energy. Its doing the job that its meant to do. Why do I need to invest $1 billion or $2 billion of funding into something that will do as good?
Certainly, batteries with charging speeds that thrive on scale and offer loss-free storage will find their place in the world.
The IBS paper on quantum charging advantage attracted a bit of media attention earlier this year, partly because it provided a laymans gateway into the promise of quantum batteries they can be used to charge electric cars much more quickly. But while the prospect of 10 hours of charging time compressed into seconds grabbed the publics attention, practical considerations, such as charger power and coherence protection, are still in the research phase for electric vehicles.
One of the first applications for quantum batteries, believes Quach, will be light harvesting, which neatly side steps the charging power constriction by way of the sun providing a pseudo-ubiquitous power source. He intends to extend his existing work with photosensitive quantum batteries by scaling them up.
The idea of superabsorption is that it should absorb better than classical absorption, and therefore we hope that it will take solar cell technology to a new level, he said. But he notes that consumer electronics and electric vehicles far behind. Given sufficient funding, consumer applications could arrive within three to five years, he said.
Thingna envisions public transport massive trains that require range and quick charging turnarounds as a prime candidate for quantum battery use. But even without the lure of rapid charging and loss-free storage, engineers must soon contend with quantum batteries. We are going to be miniaturizing things very soon, he said. We are already on that path. The problem with miniaturization is if you go too small, all your devices will hit a bottleneck and your classical laws of physics will no longer work. You cannot avoid quantum physics.

AWS buys before it tries with quantum networking center – The Register
Posted: at 11:31 am
Nothing in the quantum hardware world is fully cooked yet, but quantum computing is quite a bit further along than quantum networking an esoteric but potentially significant technology area, particularly for ultra-secure transactions. Amazon Web Services is among those working to bring quantum connectivity from the lab to the real world.
Short of developing its own quantum processors, AWS has created an ecosystem around existing quantum devices and tools via its Braket (no, that's not a typo) service. While these bits and pieces focus on compute, the tech giant has turned its gaze to quantum networking.
Alongside its Center for Quantum Computing, which it launched in late 2021, AWS has announced the launch of its Center for Quantum Networking. The latter is grandly working to solve "fundamental scientific and engineering challenges and to develop new hardware, software, and applications for quantum networks," the internet souk declared.
Like quantum computers, these networks exploit particle physics, specifically using photons to send information. AWS describes potential early applications that include clustering individual quantum systems and enabling quantum key distribution that could surpass traditional encryption a research subject near and dear to the US government.
In 2020, the US Department of Energy created a Quantum Internet Blueprint with four priority quantum network research areas [PDF] that make clear how preliminary current concepts are:
Nevertheless, the DoE said it "has reached the point where it can consider moving from small-scale experiments toward a first nationwide quantum internet facility."
One of the main technical hurdles for a functional quantum internet is addressed the DoE's third research area, which looks to solve a fundamental problem of quantum physics: photons can't be amplified, so their range is limited. "This means that special new technologies, such as quantum repeaters and transducers, will need to be developed in order to implement global quantum networks," AWS explained.
Quantum entanglement is necessary for these kind of networks to operate, but even then range is limited. The DoE said in its blueprint that entanglement experiments had reached distances of up to 1,200km impressive, but nowhere near a globe-spanning internet.
Dutch researchers recently addressed one fundamental problem in quantum networking transmitting data via an intermediary node but the paper makes no mention of the range the researchers were able to get from their experiment.
With all the engineering and scientific challenges in the way, AWS's Center for Quantum Networking has a lot of problems to choose from but didn't specify any in its announcement. Amazon hasn't responded to questions about the Center's broader plans.

New Akashic Records White Paper Explains this Healing Modality from a Scientific Perspective – GlobeNewswire
Posted: at 11:31 am
Napa, CA, June 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Napa Valley Akashic today unveiled a new white paper titled, The Akashic Records: A Simple Explanation for the Scientific Mind. The document takes an innovative approach to introducing and explaining the Akashic Records and how it functions through the lens of science. The white paper highlights and cites research from an extensive list of leading physicists, mathematicians, philosophers, psychologists, scholars, and several Nobel laureates including Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Sir Roger Penrose and Murray Gell-Mann.
The Akashic Records provide guidance to help us navigate our daily lives as well as to tune into our deeper nature and bring that wisdom into the current experience. The Akashic Records are an energetic record of every thought, emotion and action that has ever occurred, and these records exist and can be accessed through an extended dimension of consciousness during an Akashic session. While this may sound mystical in nature, the Akashic Records align with the principles of quantum physics that have completely reframed our scientific perspective and understanding of the universe and how it functions.
The past two years have been, collectively, a time of profound transformation for everyone, said Napa Valley Akashic founder, Alan Jacob. Changes have arisen in all areas of our lives. The Akashic Records enable us to access our inherent deeper wisdom to provide guidance and understanding for our personal journeys, which is especially valuable during times of such rapid change. Utilizing the Akashic Records does not require any new beliefs, and the experience can coexist and complement any existing religious or spiritual beliefs.
This paper is intended to appeal to those who generally resonate with ideas presented in more of a rational and scientific context and are accessible to even those with no experience in the subjects explored. The Akashic Records white paper includes detailed endnotes for all citations made in the paper, as well as an extensive recommended reading list in consideration for those wanting to explore these ideas further.
My hope is that this paper helps those who are unfamiliar with the Akashic Records to consider utilizing this modality in their own lives, added Alan Jacob. I have found it to be such an empowering and helpful tool and I was surprised to see how many of the concepts and ideas associated with the Akashic Records have been explored and relatively established within scientific literature. Im thrilled to share my findings with others.
