Bennett and Brassard didn’t just improve cryptography, they removed its weakest assumption. Instead of relying on difficult maths, their work anchored security in the laws of physics, where eavesdropping becomes detectable by design. That shift… Read More »Why Charles Bennett and Giles Brassard Won the Turing Award

In computational physics, the devil is often in the scales. This post explores how normalisation—when grounded in sound physical principles—can transform unstable simulations into elegant, interpretable models. From wave equations to diffraction integrals, it’s a… Read More »Normalisation: A True Workflow for Mathematical Physics
This article by Christian Tomás Schmiegelow first appeared in Physics APS on February 7, 2022. You can see the original here. Two separate teams have demonstrated a way to couple two ions through a metal… Read More »“Tin-Can Telephone” Connects Two Ions – APS Reblog
