(Fig.1) ↓ Fake "future" target = quantum ?
Quantum mechanics invented 100 years ago is unrealistic and useless, relying on fictitious quasiparticles to explain all physical phenomena.
Quasiparticle is unreal, having fake (= effective ) mass and charge, which are freely-adjustable to deal with different phenomena, so meaningless in predicting new reactions.
For useless quantum physics to get research funds, physicists needed to create fake target = fictional quantum computer which is supposed to exploit fantasy parallel worlds for faster (← ? ) parallel computing ? ← still Not reality.
To hide the inconvenient fact that the current quantum physics is useless with No progress, academia spreads fake news to deceive people into falsely believing their researches are worth taxpayers' money.
If you carefully read each quantum technology news, you will notice they make No progress, just using misleading phrases to get your hopes up.
This week solid-physics is still full of unreal quasi-particles such as phonon ( this, this ), magnon ( this ), plasmon ( this ), monopole ( this ).
Other unreal quasiparticles are skyrmion ( this, this ), Majorana fermion, Dirac fermion, Weyl fermion.
Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek proposed new crystal called "time crystal" which is unfortunately useless, physically meaningless, except for the fact that the time crystal can faintly oscillate at a frequency different from external motion.
Physicists try to explain very slight oscillation of Helium-3 as this fictitious "time-crystal" with unreal quasiparticle magnon model (= spin wave ? ) ← As long as physicists try to explain underlying mechanism using unreal quasiparticle model, real mechanism will never be clarified.
The 2nd paragraph of this news using time crystal just vaguely says "The discovery, published in Nature Materials, may lead to applications in quantum information processing because time crystals automatically remain intact ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The 3rd paragraph of this news just says "demonstrated for the first time that photons, the particles which compose light, can be used to glue together negative charges, creating a novel form of matter they named a Photon Bound Exciton (= unreal quasiparticle )"
And its 2nd last paragraph just vaguely says "This result demonstrates the possibility of engineering novel artificial atoms with designer electronic configurations ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Still useless research.
The 4th paragraph of this news just says "We grew thin films of Na3Bi and investigated their band structure via (unreal) quasiparticle interference" and its 2nd paragraph vaguely says "the use of this exciting class of materials in future ultra-low energy electronics ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Still useless research.
The 3rd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "It opens up new possibilities for fabricating photonic devices using a scalable method ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Still useless research. Unreal quasiparticle phonon is used ( this p.3 left-last ).
The 5th paragraph of this news just vaguely says "a blueprint for the future quantum internet in an event at UChicago on July 23. But fundamental engineering challenges remain: Quantum states need an extremely quiet, stable space to operate ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Still useless research.
The 2nd last and last paragraphs of this news just vaguely say "Exactly how they can both still yield the same results and both describe the same physical reality is unknown ... Time will tell what other unanswered scientific questions will yield to the study of complexity ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The 2nd last and last paragraphs of this news just vaguely say "It has long been recognized that quantum computers will revolutionize our ability to solve hard computational problems ... they may also help answer hard philosophical problems ?" ← Just speculation, still useless research.
The first paragraph of this news just vaguely says "physicists from the University of Groningen, have proposed a 'table-top' device that could measure gravity waves" ← just "propose" = nothing is realized yet.
And its 4th paragraph says unrealistic thing "Just like Schrödinger's cat, which is dead and alive at the same time, this electron spin does and does not absorb the photon energy, so that its spin is both up and down ?"
The first paragraph of this news just vaguely says " This could accelerate the development of materials for energy-efficient IT technologies of the future ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
Whatever "sophisticated" computers are used, as long as its basic atomic model is unreal and obsolete, it's meaningless with No progress ( nonphysical "spin-exchange" icing model is used, this p.5 left )
The 4th paragraph of this news just vaguely says "A plethora of exotic phenomena, not directly detectable by collider experiments, could also have yielded this characteristic monojet signature. ATLAS physicists thus set out to make their study inclusive of several new physics (impractical) models, including those featuring supersymmetry, dark energy, large extra spatial dimensions, or axion-like particles" ← Just fantasy useless physics.
The 2nd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "While this study by the ATLAS Collaboration did not lead to the observation of novel heavy Higgs bosons, it narrowed down the parameters (= freely-adjustable, so meaningless for predicting phenomena ) within which these particles could be detected and observed. In the future, it could .. ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
Quantum entanglement can neither send real information nor do any work, so completely meaningless concept.
What's this meaningless entanglement useful for ?
The last sentence of this abstract use only vague phrases: "opens a new pathway towards the control of complex scattering processes in the quantum regime ?" ← Nothing useful is specified in detail.
The 3rd paragraph of this news just vaguely says "it is similar to a superconducting current and has the potential if industrialized to improve energy-efficient technologies ?" ← just talking about "imaginary future". Still useless research.
