Damit könnten Quantencomputer schon deutlich früher als gedacht nützliche Berechnungen liefern.

Astronomers at the world’s largest telescope have found hints of a ‘missing link’ in the evolution of two binary stars that are tightly orbiting one another. It is a long-theorized type of system in which a rapidly spinning neutron star called a pulsar — the remnants of a massive supernova — is engulfed into its larger companion, then stripped it to its core.

A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically speed the path towards a ‘quantum advantage’ — when quantum computers will be able to predict the behaviour of chemicals or materials in ways that are beyond the reach of ordinary computers.

Researchers have been challenging the textbook picture of Earth’s structure, which says that what happens in the planet’s dense metallic core stays there. An analysis of rocks from Hawaii’s volcanic islands has found what could be the strongest evidence yet that material is in fact leaking out of the core — and has been pushed all the way to the surface by plumes of hot magma. It was published on 21 May in Nature1.

It's a great book by Jeff Weeks! It centers around his dream of detecting the topology of the Universe by looking for patterns in the cosmic microwave background. That search has been inconclusive at best, but along the way the reader learns a lot about both math and cosmology.
If you want to learn about geometry in physics with as littler formal math as possible have a look at 'The Shape of Space' by Jeff Weeks Great book if you're a visual learner and want to get some intuition for everything from manifold to curved spacetime https://t.co/zC20lSnTFQ
