All organizations face uncertainty. The effect this uncertainty has on an organization’s objectives is referred to as “risk.” The challenge for management is to determine how much uncertainty or risk to accept and how to manage it to an acceptable level. Risk management includes the strategies, processes, systems, and …

With nutritional status being central to success in battle, food technology has long been considered an enabler for military operations. Food technology has been instrumental in ensuring that troops remain “fit to fight”. Early military leaders realised that how well their men were fed played a crucial role in success …

Technology is increasingly important for military and national security. On the one hand, advances in cyber, medical, materials science, and robotics technologies offer potential for our security and prosperity. At the same time, reliance on these technologies creates vulnerabilities to attack. Quantum technology translates the principles of quantum physics into …
Read More »The overarching goal of quantum information science and its enabled emerging quantum technologies is to demonstrate capabilities beyond what is allowed by their classical counterparts. Sensing is an arena that quantum technologies can achieve advantages over classical sensing technologies for practical applications in the near term. Quantum metrology studies the …

The electromagnetic spectrum is a series of frequencies ranging from radio waves to microwaves, visible light, X-rays, and gamma rays. As the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation shortens, the waves have a higher frequency—how quickly electromagnetic waves follow each other—and therefore more energy. Ultraviolet (UV) is electromagnetic radiation with …

Today, we are witnessing the second quantum revolution, where quantum states, which can exhibit superposition and entanglement, are harnessed for quantum technological applications. Quantum Sensing exploits the high sensitivity of quantum systems to external disturbances to develop highly sensitive sensors. Breaking the limitations of today’s established imaging schemes is a …
Read More »What exactly happens to the body in space and what are the risks? Are the risks the same for astronauts who spend six months on the space station versus those who may be away on a Mars mission for years? The simple answer is “no.” NASA is researching risks for …

Internet access has historically been terrestrial or based on networks, such as fiber or other data cabling that is based on the ground. Cellular data is another common method of providing internet access. Satellite Internet access is Internet access provided through communication satellites. Satellite connections are often employed in remote …

The design of digital circuits is currently dominated by hardware description languages such as Verilog and VHDL. This automation of circuit design has enabled the development of modern computer processors with billions of transistors. Integrated photonic devices, on the other hand, are still designed by hand. A designer first picks …

D-Wave is the only company selling large quantum computers. It sold its first system in 2011 . The earlier D-Wave 2X™ quantum computing system featured a 1000+ qubit quantum processor and numerous design improvements that resulted in larger problem sizes, faster performance and higher precision. “Breaking the 1000 qubit barrier marks the …
