(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, this ), exciton ( this, this ), polariton ( this ), trion ( this ), polaron ( this, this ).
Other unreal quasiparticles are magnon ( this, this ), plasmon ( this ), axion ( this ), Weyl fermion ( this ), Dirac fermion ( this ), Majorana fermion ( this ).
The 4th last paragraph of this news just vaguely says " we expect that the actual Bose polaron (= unreal quasiparticle ) will appear as a single broad peak at low temperatures ?" ← talking about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "Our research result was only the first step,.?" ← Its realization is still far off. just talking about "imaginary future". Still useless. Unreal quasiparticle Dirac fermion is used ( this p.2 left )
The 2nd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "This will be useful in the development of future quantum computing strategies ?" ← Just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The 1st paragraph of this news just vaguely says "This exceptional property calls for new theoretical models and may become important in quantum computing ?" ← Just speculation, still useless.
The 1st paragraph of this news just vaguely says "that points to new ways to potentially enhance data storage ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The 1st paragraph of this news just vaguely says "The results could provide the missing link that nudges a number of quantum network technologies closer to practical use ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The 2nd paragraph of this news just vaguely says "The new cryogenic platform also holds promise for scaling-up quantum technology ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The 1st paragraph of this news just vaguely says "have developed a new atomically thin magnetic semiconductor that will allow the development of new transistors ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now. Unreal one-pseudoelectron approximation = DFT is used ( this p.4 )
The 1st paragraph of this news just vaguely says "topological superconductors that could be used to build fault-tolerant quantum computers ?" and its 7nd last paragraph says "Topological superconductors have yet to be realized experimentally" ← just about "imaginary future dream". Still useless.
The 2nd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "The development of this exciting new qubit at UCLA should impact almost every area of quantum information science ?" ← Just speculation, still useless.
The 2nd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "researchers gathered new important findings that could open up new possibilities for the development of quantum memory applications ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The 2nd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "In the future, the cooling technique devised by the researchers could thus have several practical applications ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The 2nd paragraph of this news just vaguely says "Nuclei similar to thorium-228 may now be able to be used to perform new tests to try find the answer to the mystery surrounding matter and antimatter ?",
and its 7th paragraph says "In theory (= baseless speculation ! ), an electric dipole moment (EDM) could allow matter and antimatter to decay at different rates, providing an explanation for the asymmetry in matter and antimatter in our universe ?" ← Nothing useful is specified. Nuclear electric dipole moment has nothing to do with useless antimatter.
The last of this news just vaguely says "The researchers note that their technique could also be used to study other effects related to fermion-based gases ?" ← Just speculation, still useless.
The 2nd paragraph of this news just vaguely says "It is not yet known whether dark matter also interacts with itself or with normal matter via the other three fundamental forces .. Even very sophisticated experiments have so far not been able to detect any such interaction. This means that if it does exist at all, it must be very weak" ← Too weak dark matter is useless and unnecessary.
The 3rd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says "Future experiments will involve probing the nature of spin dynamics .. one that could lead to new insights into superconductivity and quantum information sciences ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless.
The 9th paragraph of this news just vaguely says "Our findings mark a large step towards launching large-capacity optical communication networks ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Still useless. Infinite "steps" are needed for realization ?
The 2nd last paragraph of this news just vaguely says " For that, newer and more sophisticated methods of quantum sensing will have to be developed ?" ← just about "imaginary future". Nothing is realized now.
The 2nd paragraph of this news just vaguely says "If scientists can come up with an appropriate theory, they may be able to design superconductors that don't require expensive cooling to achieve their near-perfect energy efficiency ?" ← Just speculation, still useless.
