What happened?
Engineers at Caltech have developed an approach for quantum storage. It could help pave the way for the development of large-scale optical quantum networks. The new system relies on nuclear spins—the angular momentum of an atom’s nucleus oscillating collectively as a spin wave. This collective oscillation effectively chains up several atoms to store information.

Why is this important?
Quantum networking is a hot topic in the world of physics, and for good reason. If it can be perfected, it could offer a means of communicating with absolute security. But there’s one big problem: quantum networks require a way to store data, and current methods are far from perfect. Now, researchers have come up with a new storage technique that could finally make quantum networking a reality. These quantum networks would connect quantum computers through a system that operates at a quantum, rather than classical, level. As they can with classical computers, engineers would like to be able to connect multiple quantum computers to share data and work together creating a “quantum internet.” This would open the door to several applications, including the ability to solve computations that are too large to be handled by a single quantum computer, as well as the establishment of unbreakably secure communications using quantum cryptography.

Our world is changing at an exponential rate! A big tidal wave of digital transformation and disruption is coming at us fast. Many organizations see this wave as a threat and experience stress, but there are also organizations that just see this wave as an opportunity.
Imagine sitting with just 10-15 fellow executives at a premier location, gaining clarity on the impact of AI on your industry while enjoying an exquisite dining experience. These are not just meetings—they are transformative moments that will shape the future of your organization
In the future, 3D printing and generative design will allow for products to be designed in a more decentralized manner, and production will take place closer to the customer and fully on-demand. 3D printing technology will also allow for more customization and personalization of products.
The agricultural industry is ripe for disruption. Robotics, AI, and IoT are all technologies that have the potential to radically transform the way we grow food. In combination with vertical farming, these technologies could increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural products.
A human-centered society is one that puts people first and where technology is used to unite and empower people. It is a society that values biological life and dignity above all else. It is a society that recognizes the importance of human relationships and works to strengthen them. In a human-centered society, all members of the community are valued and treated with respect.
The future of healthcare is here. New technologies like AI, IoT, big data, and smart sensors make it possible to become the CEO of your own health. Imagine that your phone can listen to your voice and AI algorithms can detect small nuances in the tone of your voice that indicate specific diseases.
