(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 quasiparticles such as phonon ( this, this ), exciton ( this ), plasmon ( this ), skyrmion ( this, this ).
Other unreal quasiparticles are Dirac fermion ( this ), Weyl fermion ( this ).
The first paragraph of this news just vaguely says "cuprous oxide, is a promising material for quantum photonics ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now. Unreal quasiparticle exciton is used ( this p.2 left-top )
The last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "can expect our findings may have important applications in the future ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless. Unreal quasiparticle Weyl is used.
The first paragraph of this news just vaguely says "which will enable topological transistor and quantum computation using light waves ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now. Unreal Dirac quasiparticle is used.
The first of this news just vaguely says "Trapped Rydberg ions may be the next step towards scaling up quantum computers ?" ← Just speculation, still useless.
The seventh paragraph of this news just vaguely says "Quantum computers are expected to outperform conventional ones .. however, represents a major technical challenge." ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The first paragraph of this news just vaguely says "This is an important step on the way to knowing whether or not neutrinos and antineutrinos behave differently ?" ← Nothing useful is specified. Meaningless research. Anti-neutrino is just fiction which cannot be detected directly.
The third paragraph of this news just vaguely says "This quantum sensing paradigm could create opportunities to improve GPS systems ?" ← Just speculation, still useless. Superluminal entanglement is just fiction, cannot send any real things
The first paragraph of this news just vaguely says "The advent of artificial intelligence, machine learning and the internet of things is expected to change modern electronics ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "possible applications, which might include a device to monitor heart rate, .. This offers hope in the feasibility that one day this device can talk to actual neurons in biological systems ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "the potential for ultra-high-efficiency single-junction semiconductor devices, which would revolutionize the field of photovoltaics and renewable energy generation." ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The second last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "This technique could pave the way for the development of an entirely new type of quantum materials, while also potentially revolutionizing the current understanding of .. ?" ← Just speculation, still useless.
The third last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "and also open exciting opportunities for spintronic and photovoltaic applications based on quantum control ?" ← Nothing useful is specified in detail.
The second last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "their microwave signals, could be critical elements for building fully integrated low-noise microwave oscillators for future architectures of radars and information networks ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "Our experiments therefore provide a new approach for experimental testing of quantum mechanical theories of Compton scattering ?" ← Nothing useful is specified.
The first paragraph of this news just vaguely says "reports tiny satellite galaxies of the Milky Way can be used to test fundamental properties of "dark matter"—nonluminous material thought to constitute 85% of matter in the universe ?" ← Nothing useful is specified. Waste of money in unneeded dark matter research.
